From Car Wash Rookie to Key Holder—But at What Cost? 🚗💦

Who knew a month at a car wash could turn my world upside down? I started out scrubbing bumpers for $11 an hour, just hoping to make ends meet. Now, after only a few weeks, I’m getting promoted to supervisor, key holder, and my pay’s jumping to $14 an hour. Sounds awesome, right? But here’s the catch: two coworkers quit, so I’m suddenly working almost 73 hours in two weeks, mostly closing up shop alone. I’m exhausted, a little overwhelmed, and honestly not sure how to balance this new responsibility. Have you ever been thrown into the deep end at work? How did you handle the pressure without burning out? I could really use some advice from anyone who’s been here before! 😅 #WorkplaceStruggles #PromotionProblems #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
