Kitchen Chef Jobs

Not fair

Kitchen Chef - (City withheld for privacy), New South Wales (NSW), Australia

When I started this job it was a position consisting only of assisting in the kitchen, washing dishes, food prep and things a like. Since a week ago the chef has left the job resulting in myself taking up the position and still continuing my original duties. There is not one day I leave on my rostered hours, its always at least 2-3 hours over and no overtime. I dont know what to do my manager just dont want to talk to me about it, she just says "you will get quicker."
