i (22f) work at a restaurant whose entire kitchen staff (minus me and one other person) quit 3 months ago. they swear theyve been looking at applications but we’ve only had three interviews and they all got better offers elsewhere and never came in. i recently got moved to bartender instead of kitchen support so now instead of leaving when the kitchen closes at 11 i stay until the bar closes usually between 1-3. i expected them to take me off a kitchen prep since i will now be staying so late but this is the second week ive been on prep since i got promoted and not only that, i went from kitchen prep two days a week to every day i come in at all. that mean i have been working 1pm to 3am five days a week and it is catching up to me. i had a breakdown in my car this morning and i know for a fact exhaustion caused it. so i called and said id be late by idk how much. no one said anything but im nervous to ask them to take me off prep. i also have a work ethic built into me by my parents that when you work, you go in no matter what. so i need some words of affirmation that this was something i needed and not just me be lazy
