Shouldn't work be divided out?

I recently started in a small company which I enjoy. Everyone in my team, doing the same job, are part-time, whereas I'm the only full-timer! As a default, they want me to pick up multiple tasks that were shared between them previously. This takes me away from my main job, but are important tasks.

I'm now also the default for out of office emails when the others are off or on holidays- one day I had 4 out of office replies directed at me! I feel I'm being penalised for working full time. AIBU or is it expected if I'm the only full timer?

It should be shared out but on the plus side if they are important jobs you'll be the only one knowing what is going on with them?

There shouldn't be ooh emails directed at you they should have a generic account set up for that and anyone on duty should be responsible for responding unless it is specific to your role. Work should be distributed proportionately to the hours you are paid to work.

Sadly those of us who work full time often have the shitty end of the stick so I feel your pain
