Company is not your mom, it's a agent of a trade on a job market. If it can demand something from you, then you can do the same.

In fact, not only is your job to provide company with a product of your labor, but it also is a job of the management to provide you what you want and need (interesting tasks, a path for long-term development).

Let me repeat again, it's not a privilege to ask for this, they HAVE to do this.
