Words like; have, my, our, can be used to denote ownership, but it is also normal to use them to denote a relationship to, as in my grandmother, the person is not saying they own the grandmother, but they have a relationship to the grandmother. My job, their work, can signify the relationship to, not just an ownership of those tasks.
If you think that is coherent, please do not eat your hand.
PS thanks Padraic for giving me the hint in your post on this thread, that enabled me to answer the question in this way.
