Bake and Shake (up)

soc_puppetWe're getting new employees in the bakery! Which is great, because the most recent new employee has been with us for over a semester and is just... generally not working out. Some of it is her ADHD (which she is only recently able to get medicated), some of it is personality clash with our Pastry Chef, and some of it is probably just her. We haven't had student interns since Covid, and I feel like over the same amount of time as one of the interns, she's definitely not adapted as well as some of them. I'm pretty sure she would have done better if she'd have gone through the actual bakery program in the school, especially with at least a handful of peers she could lean on and learn from, instead of coming into the bakery green as a possible new Lead Cook (second in charge under the Pastry Chef) and surrendering responsibility from there.
I also lost a lot of respect for her about two weeks ago, when I gave her a strong hint about needing to finish up her current task so she could tag in on one I needed her help with, followed by her continuing to take her time and chat amiably with students during her then-current task. She later admitted to catching and ignoring the hint, rather than (as I had initially assumed) missing the hint entirely. So. Definitely still a bit of lingering bad feeling there, not gonna lie.
Anyway, she'll be leaving us, hopefully for greener pastures on her end, in early June, so it's very good that we're getting two other employees. One of whom has already started and seems quite promising! I'm looking forward to meeting the second one soon 😃
