Workload piling on husband

I need some clarity from you wise lot as my mindset has become slightly foggy trying to work out the best thing to do.

DH started a new job about 7 mths ago. Since then however 3 people have left for various reasons. My DH is a bit of a perfectionist and can go under the umbrella of workaholic. Since the departure of these other staff it become apparent that the work load is being put unto DH. Normally he would relish in this but he is totally swamped, stressed and really finding it difficult managing all the workload as well as finding his own feet. He isn't getting paid any extra and is REALLY hating the job, but it took him ages finding this job so simply saying "look for another job" isn't as easy as ut should be.

He has another few mths probation.

What would you do?

ask for a 1:1 and say that he is unable to do the work of 4 people.

This is exactly what I'm telling him but he's being a dick about it for reason. Almost like he doesn't want to be seen as weak
