Can an employee who has seniority be forced to work a certain shift just because they know how to do a certain job? I'm the bread baker, but I also get the frozen order and do the bread breakout. Someone else does the bagging. I start my shift at 5:00 AM. The new store manager wants the baker to work overnight and do all the bagging so the bread is out on the sales floor early in the morning. I've already said if she wants an overnight baker, she's going to have to hire and train somebody. I can do other things in the department besides bake bread. I've already decided that if they schedule me overnight, I'm going to forget how to bake. I'm going to make the worst looking bread you've ever seen. It's going to be severely underproofed and either still pale with barely a hint of color or it's going to be practically burnt.

Thats extremely selfish amd just a waste of food. You should be terminated at onice.
Somehow, it was found out that you do other things in the bakery besides baking bread. I understand about seniority but if she doesn't want to hire someone and train them, then there is nothing you can do.
But "forgetting" how to bake bread is wasteful and costly.
If you do that, management may very well "forget" you work there, and "forget" to keep you on payroll.
