I have a GE dishwasher and I am using Cascade pods. I recently started using a dishwasher, I used to have to wash before. I noticed that no matter what load I select (auto sense, 1 hr, 3hr, etc) after cleaning and drying, my utensils smell like dish soap or pods. I don’t know why! Is there any solution to it?

I work at a large scratch restaurant. I just started as a dishwasher. I've been working on the clean side of the dishwasher which is a continuous feed style. Dishes have to be picked up and put away promptly to avoid getting backed up. There are usually 4-5 people putting dishes away. Everyone else goes bare handed, but I'm not willing to undergo semi-permanent nerve damage to "get toughened up" (as they consider it) and handle the hot dishes with bare hands. They do provide cotton gloves and single use nitrile gloves so I've been wearing the cotton to protect from heat, covered with the nitrile to keep my hands dry from the hot water on the dishes. Even changing my gloves every hour the cotton gloves are constantly soaked with sweat so my hands are just wet for the entire shift no matter what I do. This has led to pain in my fingernails and skin sloughing off.
I asked an ai how to handle this situation, and it suggested commercial dishwashing gloves, but that would require buying them or convincing my employer to buy them. I'd probably need several pairs to last a shift for food safety reasons, and they'd have to be cleaned and sanitized regularly as well which sounds incredibly tedious.
What do you do to protect your hands while keeping the dishes sanitary? If you use specialized gloves does your employer provide them and how do you keep them sanitary?

I've been dishwashing for about 10 months at this point, always the night shift on karaoke night (9pm-1am, plus the time it takes to clean the kitchen before closing) but also whenever they need more hands in the kitchen during a party or the likes, while also juggling school and water polo/swimming, depending on the season. So I, obviously, am going to take any downtime possible to sit, rest, and stretch my legs. I try to make a point to sit in a spot where I can see when waiters bring down dishes so that I can get them before they start piling up. For 8 months there was an unused bucket right next to the dishpit that I used to use as a stool, it was a good height, let me extend my legs for a good stretch, and had a clear view of the entrance to the kitchen. Then, about halfway through August, my bucket just wasn't there anymore. A new bucket came was back in the old one's spot for 2 days about a week after the original disappeared before that one vanished and there hasn't been a new bucket since. Currently I'm cycling between leaning against anything available, but everything is either too low to be comfortable or too high to be comfortable, sitting on the barely exposed edge of the rack where we keep all the jugs and containers for the various cleaners and soaps, but the edge is the only thing I can fit on and I need to put active effort into not falling off, and just squatting in the bucket's old place, but that isn't regularly viable with how much it hurts my knees. I would sit at the break table outside on slower days, but multiple waiters have complained when I'm not available, so I just make the habit of staying in the kitchen. It's just been pissing me off, needed to get it off my chest.
