Good Luck

...is your fresh opportunity.  You surely gained invaluable WFO chops there --will hold you in good stead at your next posting, although ovens like that are probably hard to come by.  Your QLD supporters (and there must be many) are doubtless as keen to learn where you'll next hang your shingle as your global TFL fanbase is.

Bon courage!

Be true to yourself and beliefs, you haven't come this far to compromise your vision. At the end of the day, fighting the good fight IS the right thing to do.

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out after all your hard work.  I'm sure your next venture will be even more rewarding.

Hi Phil

I too gave up a job in a hot bread shop rather than accept  a lower standard , i was given full responsibility for ingredients, fellow baker selection and we built up trade very quickly as the bread was the best we could make. All went well for 13 months, As  the company expanded and more shops opened a whizz kid was appointed  from a multinational grocery company and university, he quickly introduced central buying and was telling me what to use in the bread. i felt that it was settling for mediocarity i was'nt prepared to allow that to happen to either myself or the customers so both I and my fellow baker quit.

i did get the chance to go back for a nights work a few years later when the baker  who i knew that took on the franchise  asked me to come in and give him a hand for the weekend double shift.

We used to have an order book whereby customers ordered AND PAID FOR THEIR BREAD  we had to restrict some of the breads as we just couldnt fit  any more into the 12 - 13 hour shift or oven.The orders that night would fit on the back of a post card, it was quite amazing how things had changed over a few years.  

Im sure you will look back and this will be just a stop over on your quest for meaningfull employment.

kindest Regards Derek
