I have an autism and anxiety diagnosis, but people often assume I have adhd. I say that to say that when shit hits the fan, folks tend to look to look to me, both in my professional and personal life. Maybe this is why I "love" the kitchen environment, especially when nothing is prepped and the tickets are hitting the floor. I'm in management now, and I keep being told to stop, but I'm still in the trenches all the time.

Never worked food prep but I've worked at a handful of help desks in IT. I always felt most comfortable and confident in my abilities when helping to identify and solve "house burning" situations. Is not that I couldn't lead others in a managerial role, it's that I know I'd be life you, in the thick of it, and also then have the stress of managing people and the stress of all that!

I'm sure when you come through, find the issue, and solve it that gives you a great feeling. You're are correct that it's additional stress managing, but if you can throw down with the frontline crew, you get respect other managers just don't get and it can make it a little easier on that front.
