Without me being there, I doubt there has been a dedicated effort to unload/reload the washers or dryers. When I'm there, that's all I do - I'm an essential link in the chain of the labor we do. Without me, the work slows to a halt because no-one else will step up to do the same work.

I'm not saying the job isn't important but you yourself aren't essential. It's very easy in some jobs to get that mixed up. "If I'm not there or constantly checking emails, everything will fall apart".

Your coworkers rely on you so they can continue to be lazy. Without you, they'll have to actually put in work. If you are the only person who has knowledge on how to do certain job functions then that's on your boss for not cross training more people. This operation worked before you were hired and it will continue to work after you leave. Your personal time is your personal time and the job will be there when you get back. No one at your job will give a damn if you pissed off your landlord or the electric company. Take care of your personal affairs first.
