Most people’s responsibilities rely on other people’s responsibilities, so when we tell ourselves “not my job” there’s almost always an “as long as they do what they’re supposed to” addendum.

Hard disagree. It is their job, amd while not doing their job could affect me, that does not make it my job.

If I will get grief because them not doing their job holds me up, then I blame them without any hesitation, because otherwise their job would become my job if I tried to make up for them.

This assumes people are individually responsible and it is not a group effort where I should be helping them and they will be helping me. Then it is a shared job.
