The relief of taking two whole weeks off, after working 100 hour weeks, must be incredible. Humans aren't designed to work that much. Yet there are numerous career fields that require 16-hour days and working straight through the weekends. Doctors, nurses, and lawyers are among the groups of employees who tirelessly devote themselves to their jobs. But running on caffeine and energy bars isn't enough to keep a person going in the long run.
This person shared their own story of when they worked 90-100 hours per week, but it was actually at a coffee shop. The place was a chain, and was apparently so poorly run that the previous manager walked out on the job! That wasn't a big enough red flag for the OP, and they were stuck covering every single shift where an employee called out, while also having to cut people's shifts to save on labor costs.
The OP was, understandably, “stressed, overworked, and irritated” after doing this for a while. And to make things even more stressful, the company's toxic owners weren't even satisfied with the OP's ability to run the coffee shop.
