I got hired to do pastry at a restaurant. The owners are European, and they got pretty excited when they found out my real expertise is in baking traditional sourdough bread. Now they want me to bake bread, too. They are talking about having a whole bread program, a new line of sales, basically, but entirely based on my skills. Their pastry program has been mostly based on pastries developed by a development team, and I’m sure the team was payed well for that. I supplement the program with my own skills and creativity, which I feel is what I was hired to do. They have just assumed they own my expertise on this, too, and I’m really uncomfortable with that.
How can I tell them I won’t bake bread for their establishment?
