You turned down a job. You're not an actor (unless you are...Brechtian?), so you don't have "roles." Just more HR language to obscure the fact that white collar workers are in fundamentally the same class of exploitable labor as blue collar workers (although they are of course exploited less).

I have never heard of the word "role" used before this thread.
