Miraculous!
Been told to do more hours. I would be fine if they gave me additional responsibilities but no it's just 6 more hours washing dishes.
I used to do that in the beginning of my job as a housekeeper (I helped out at the kitchen to try out different positions in the hotel.) It became stressful when we needed more plates during rush hour (breakfast) yet we didn't (and still don't) have enough plates to accommodate the whole hotel. Sure washing dishes isn't particularly hard but it's mentally aggravating (especially when you deal with the head chef who doesn't seem to understand how quickly and time consuming a pile of plates can stack up!) Try a different position (and it can be outside or inside the kitchen. You just gotta find your niche. Don't try housekeeping... too much drama!!!) I know you think office jobs seem more cushy, you can aim for it and try it out!! Your boss should assign you more hours if he/she thinks you should work more, it ain't your job to assign yourself more hours! If you're comfortable doing this, you can request for them to give you additional responsibilities or at least give you something else to do than just washing dishes.Been told to do more hours.

I think you're just in a bad kitchen with terrible management. That's insane that you guys stayed out til 2:30 a.m. That's way too late!! If you wanna try office work, check out the mailroom and be a sorter there (something even I've been thinking of as a part time job) and I heard data entry is pretty good. Definitely look elsewhere if your job's stressing you out like this. There's better work out there and you'll find it and get it!! A different is always good going into because then you'll know what suits you, what things you don't like, and what you don't mind doing.It's really weird. Yesterday I was told to make some chips.
Hooray responsibilities!
...except that there were three Kitchen Porters on (my role) and about 8 chefs including a prep chef - and they still made the KPs (me and another guy) do prep work and food run despite there being more than enough chefs leaving the new guy by himself on sink which inevitably meant stuff started to stack, not to mention servers in general don't stack properly making it a hazard that needs sorting...
Yeah we didn't get out until 2:30 am. I'm amazed we didn't get shouted at for being late out.
Got 40+ hours next week but honestly just done. Office work seems far less stressful.
It sounds like you either really hate your job or completely bored with it. You can always make up ideas in the spare time or think up on lessons. I hope to see you post on the Best Part of Your Day thread... ^^;UGH in an 8 hour day I had one class, meaning for 7 hours I was sitting around in the teacher's office.

Today was a nightmare shift. Chefs sending out raw food and then recooking (a big no-no) instead of making a fresh one. Servers leaving food on side so it gets cold. Found the rats around the bins again despite being told it had been sorted...
So why is this in best part? Because unlike the rest of the team tonight, the other kitchen porters and I BOSSED the dishpit, cleaning up everyone's mistakes and still staying on top of it. Got praise from everybody and felt really good.
Still looking elsewhere but hot damn I was the man tonight.
