Most modern jobs are not underpaid.
They are structurally overloaded.

Compressing Roles explains why responsibility, risk, and accountability keep expanding — while authority, protection, and pay do not.

This book names a pattern many people experience but struggle to describe:
work that quietly becomes two or three roles, without renegotiation, redesign, or recognition.

It shows:

  • Why failure keeps landing in the same organisational layer

  • How “reasonable” requests permanently expand scope

  • Why capable people are blamed for outcomes they could not control

  • How compliance, project management, and “support” roles absorb risk so systems appear to function

  • Why pay lags behind responsibility — not by refusal, but by design

This is not a career guide.
It is not a negotiation manual.
It does not offer hacks, optimism, or solutions.

It is a structural explanation of how modern organisations transfer risk — and who carries the cost.

If you have ever been told to “take ownership” without being given control, this book will explain why.
