I've been at this organization for just shy of 7 years.

   You need to advocate for yourself, speak up, show your value. If layoffs are on the horizon, you need to show why not you.

   Have a convo with your supervisor to see if there's a possibility of incorporating more of X and Y in your day to day without harm to keeping everything else afloat. Openly talk about your concerns with organizational changes. I know you feel like you're going to become irrelevant because your team can't measure the impact of "other duties", so you should ask your supervisor what type of annual goals your team needs to reach and what the KPIs/metrics are that you need to sustain. If you have no goals, no targets, nothing to say you, or your team have exceeded the definition of success... Prepare to pack up your desk!

   Here's another perspective:

   What if your "other duties as assigned" is the glue to the core areas of your company? An ER nurse can't say they don't want to do patient reporting, or deal with insurance, or handle police and social workers cases. What if they have to do all of the other duties, as assigned, to make the ER and other hospital operations successful?

   You can ask your supervisor how your duties are directly contributing to the company or the (non-dys)function of other teams.

   Not sure what this community can do to help you. Perhaps sit your manager down and let them know you want to do more.
