I worked at a place that would often take me off whatever I was working on and put me on something entirely different. In my case some of my fellow employees got riled about that. They thought I was getting some sort of special treatment and getting to "work on the fun stuff".

The real reason they put me on those projects is because I didn't complain about it, whereas my fellow workers always complained about it because "that's not what I was hired to do". It wasn't until the owners quit asking them that they thought I was getting to do the all the "fun" work.

The reason I never complained is because I got paid the same no matter if I was sweeping floors or designing a new product.

So my advice it do whatever they ask you to do and do it as best as you can. You do that and you'll become invaluable to them, and when you do you can tell them "You need to start paying me more" and they either will or won't, but they probably will because they'll know it's hard to find someone who jump in to get what they need done without whining about it, like all my fellow employees did.
