    Petty bakery manager ignores employee's input during graduation weekend, resulting in $1000 loss and 19 free cakes given to customers for free: 'Jill got demoted'

    Every industry has at least one week out of the year when things get so busy that everyone feels like they're just barely treading water. 

    Sometimes, these weeks are unavoidable and sudden, but other times, you can, at the very least, anticipate that they're coming. According to this author, who worked at a bakery for over six years, her busy season was during graduation weekend.

    The baker just so happened to be living in a small town populated largely by three colleges and several high schools, so every year, graduation week was intense. Again, there were always some aspects of the week, such as an out-of-the-box complicated order, that you cannot plan for. However, year after year, it became clear that there were ways in which the bakery could better prepare itself for this daunting period.

    When the baker was passed over for a promotion in favor of a less experienced and less committed manager (who just so happened to be in cahoots with upper management), the author knew that she wanted to leave this place behind after giving birth to her child. In anticipation of graduation week, she tried to make suggestions, but the new petty manager ignored all of them. It turns out that this was the manager's loss at the end of the day.
