Baking analogy at work yesterday (Blogger was so slow last night I couldn't post). Bakers are hired to bake. Bakers should not do other tasks like fix the oven, answer the phone or manage the cash till, even if they're capable of doing so. And especially not when there are already people hired for the other tasks. If you push non-relevant tasks to bakers with the excuse that you're too busy or incompetent, then why aren't you working as late as the bakers or trying to be competent in what you're supposed to do? Why can't it be understood that bakers generate revenue when they bake, which sustains the bakery.

Simmering mutiny in the bakery. Woohoo.
