McDonalds is a HORRIBLE place to work. I genuinely used to go sleep and night hearing the machine noises.. and whenever I go there to eat I get flashbacks. And all for £4 something an hour.. my friend got paid double in his job, it was so embarassing.

they really do need to increase the pay, it's slave labour. feel so sorry for the people who work there all week in order to make a living, it's no life at all

Bear in mind this was during Ramadan & I was fasting and that made me even more exhausted. The owner (my store is part of a chain of five other stores and he's the one who runs it all) just happened to visit (he was this really big, REALLY intimidating Iranian guy) and saw what was going on, then asked me how long I've been working there so I said 4 weeks (which is 8 days as I only did weekends) and he seemed really angry and next thing I know one of my managers calls me to the office, tells me to sign a sheet and hand in my uniform. o had to do it along with the super

I'm so glad I'm not working there, it was AWFUL. One week there was an upcoming inspection so they deconstructed all the cabinets and stuff in the kitchen and made me clean all the wheels with a brush and a bucket of soapy water. It had to be immaculate, I even spent up to fifteen goddamn minutes on some wheels. And even then it apparently wasn't good enough. Then they made me clean the insides of the metal cabinet which bruised and cut my hands a bit and this kind of excess cleaning was apparently going on the next day too so I called in sick lmao. I was like the only crew member who had to do it along with the supervisors and managers, which was really unfair. It was genuinely like slavery and all for £4.25 an hour.. did I mention that the supervisors treat you like ****. The only good thing about the job were the other crew members who were amazing, although one or two were quite bitchy and rude

I fear that some of you have a slightly idealised understanding of the realities of working on the bottom rungs of these large companies. You are an ant amount thousands, the chance of progression is slim and more often than not, down to luck (being in the right place at the right time when a position opens up). Or of course, your ability to be female and willing to suck a fat greasy dick in for a £1 an hour promotion.

Because the lower level management positions in these companies don't pay much over minimum wage either.

Working full time somewhere like that is a miserable job and a miserable existence. A couple of days a week for a bit of pocket money, fine, but a full time "career"? No. It's dead end rat slog.

My manager used to have us on ridiculously long shifts everyday, like literally 16/18 hour shifts constantly (I was doing 100 hour weeks at one point :o Wages seemed amazing for a 18 year old when being paid for that many hours). And he used to give us all ecstasy and speed to get through them...
