Baking analogy at work.

I miss my previous batch of bakers who're cooperative, nice and smart. My current batch is either too rigid ("Why should I add icing to the cake? It's not difficult but it's also not in my recipe!") or too dumb (when we ran out of cake boxes, this type of baker will use another bakery's cake box as it is to place our cake in.. without changing the brand on the cake box).

No wonder I feel more empathy for my customers than my bakers in this current job.
