How long have you been working there?

How long does it normally take you to get used to anything new?

oh i'm sorry i thought i mentioned it in OP, i've been working there for 7 days

i've never worked in a kitchen, i got the job because i wanted a career change and i applied for the job (head chef asked me to prepare a 3 course meal for him and i kicked ass)

so far everyone is very nice to me but i'm afraid eventually they will get fed with my slacking

i have no fucking idea how long would it take for me to get used to something new because i've never been in such intense environment

What were you doing before? And why the fuck would you go into this business? Do you not know about the shitty pay? The long hours? Weekdays? Holidays?

As long as you show your determination you'll be fine. I give new people slack because everybody learns at their own pace and some shit just needs repetition and practice. You'll be fine if you don't act like an asshole and people see that you're trying.

Just to be that guy that still can't get it right after a month.

I want to hide under her bed sheets and sniff her farts.

Theres no such thing as a "prep chef". You're a prep cook, you fucking idiot. And your "sous chef responsibilities" are bitch work that the other cooks dont wanna do because you're the FNG.

If your boss is reasonable you'll have 1-3 months to catch on, depending on task complexity. As long as you don't fuck up hard you'll be fine.

If you just need explanation that's fine. Just focus on working cleanly and accurately with your knife. It will take some time to get fast with a blade so just keep trying and keep focusing on technique and practice at home too.

Basically it's mostly repitition. Just keep your cool and always try to help during service if someone needs something immediately.

Ask questions, and most importantly watch what others are doing, always. It'll all click but it takes more than a week when you have no experience. Even with experience there's a bit of a learning curve when you're in a new kitchen. Just don't lose your cool, be receptive to criticism, and always go in with the thought that you'll be better than you were yesterday.

What he described sounds like a chef de partie. Stop being so bitter and angry.
