Almost a year in, I am incredibly overwhelmed feedback is welcomed
I work for a chain. It’s my first assistant management job. The workload (after running mostly closing shifts with the multiple equipment failures weekly, people calling out, quitting, coming in intoxicated, having to cover the absent staff, FOH and BOH staff who has to be followed around to make sure they are doing their job with me trying to pick up after them to take care of guests and make labor while trying to do my job) seems impossible. I have to work from home to keep up with all of the computer work required by corporate and other tasks that I’ve been assigned. I’m starting to burn out, and I haven’t even been trained in all areas of the position (which I want to be) because upper management (admittedly) has too much on their plate and they don’t have the time. I have definitely been putting my family on the back burner, and my work life balance is laughable. Is every restaurant management position like this? What is the general expectation of an Am? I am an incredibly hard worker, but this doesn’t seem sustainable. Thank you for your help
