And holy crap, here you are again with the "it is NOT part of our 12-month contract". Guy, people that work in the real world are expected to be somewhat flexible to accomplish what needs to be done within their organization. Did I go to university for four years to become a writer so I could stay late five nights in a row putting marketing message stickers on water bottles? Of course not, but after my day job is done I am occasionally required to help in other areas of our business so the company as a whole accomplishes what it needs to do. You have completely lost sight of the bigger picture of what is required of you and, frankly, it's ridiculous.

This isn't like they asked them to cover for a guy who is off sick for a week, or help unload a truck when they are short staffed. This is travel to another city, mark exams for 8 hours, stay in a hotel. While you are there, make sure you also mark any remaining in class items before the deadline so we can get the report cards out.
That is so far out of the job description, I wouldn't even know where to start. not even counting that it is working for an entirely different company.
You are saying he should only be concerned about the customer? Should I get the guy at Starbucks to come rotate my tires? How about the landscaper to come in and fix my computer? I am the customer after all, why should they complain?

Many companies have cyclical slow/busy seasons. June would be a busy season in your industry. The busy times are when you get to see who your star employees are and where the fat needs to be trimmed.

You would fire one of your employees for not doing something that another company asked them to do that wasn't part of their job description?
You sure that entire post wasn't a typo? You didn't spill your coffee on the keyboard and the dog typed it trying to clean it up?
