I work for a law enforcement agency in Australia in the role of an assistant and had been there for less than 6 months when I was asked to work on a team dealing with some pretty horrific crimes. This team consisted of just 3 people, my boss, an “agent” and me.
The reason I was placed on this team was to organize meetings with victims of crime and allow our agency to talk to them about the progress of the investigation. Basically all I had to do was book a venue, make sure there was tea; coffee etc and make sure invites were sent out on time. I’ve done similar things in the past and this all went without a hitch,dispite my boss spending more time giving me stupid tasks like making sure her dry cleaning was done and getting her lunch everyday! (When I was hired I was told that things like this were NOT in my job description, and not to do them no matter who told me to- but I did anyway)
