Is there any way I can convince my boss to hire some help? Over the past few months, four people have quit and instead of replacing them, our manager just gives their work to us. He thinks it's fine because the work is getting done and he's saving money. But I know I'm drowning and not sure how much longer I can keep up this pace.

Unfortunately, you have done yourself an injustice. Once management sees that fewer people can do the same amount of work, they don’t want to hear excuses. They will simply find other people that are willing to do the same work. Complaining now will most likely get you blacklisted. Management gets larger bonuses when payroll is reduced. If you are working directly for the owner, you are at even more of a disadvantage. More money makes for a greedy boss. You can try, but after a couple of months, it may be a lost cause.
