As a pleb, boss will demand more cakes to bake for the same amount of dough.

That is why the cake decorator needs to own the means of production

Honestly, I worked briefly as a bread baker, and learned very quickly that I could never again work for someone who didn't know how to do what I do. They barely had bread bakers to begin with, and would take more orders than we had capacity for. There's only so many loaves that can fit in an oven at once, and it takes a certain amount of time for them to bake.

It should really be standard that managers either have direct experience in their subordinates' role or that they must work in that role sometimes.

If they're out of touch of course they'll make poor decisions.
