Do the work slacker.

Then if you are smart you use it as leverage come review time

The economy has never been better. Never better. Job market at an all-time high. Many jobs. Many jobs. Good jobs. I would quit and find another job next week but that's just me.

If you can handle it, ask for a raise.

If you can't or won't, find another job.

Instead of just standing there watching the fries fry, make yourself useful and flip a burger or two!

BTW, you know anything about mechanical crap? Maybe help fix the damn ice cream machine!

Prioritize and slow down.

There's only so many hours in a day/week/month, you only have 2 hands. The more they pile on, well gee, you have to stop EVERYTHING in order to reorganize, re-prioritize, reschedule, regroup...a few more "re's" before you can even resume.

1. Do the work.
2. Get a new job.

I don't really think there's a third option.

Do the work and show how adaptable you are. Pretty soon your boss will realize you are not replaceable and you can expect large pay increases.

The second it took me longer than 20 actual hours of work to complete I'd roll the frick out.

I work 60 hours a week. I could do it all in five. Maybe less
