Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker asks, pointedly, whether the listener regards tormenting them as part of the listener's duties. The question turns a professional role into an accusation, suggesting that whatever the listener does feels like deliberate torture. It is worded as a challenge rather than a plain inquiry.
