siryouarebeingmocked: hst3000:siryouarebeingmocked: kunaiman: siryouarebeingmocked: capitalism-and-analytics: “I did a job that could be performed by a bright 10-year old, using the resources and training of a gigantic international corporation and its franchisees. Why don’t I get to keep all the moeny?”Exactly the kind of stupid I’d expect from antiwork. You seriously saying that a ten year old can manageGetting called in at random times to come into work, with the threat that they’ll cut your hours if you refuseDealing with the stress of all the idiot customers that don’t see you as an actual member of society as much as a lesser being to be ordered and belittled if something is slightly wrongWorking over ten hours a day but getting cut just enough so they don’t have to pay you overtimeHaving to work opening or closing shifts, wildly throwing off their sleep scheduleArranging transportationBalancing dozens of orders during rush hourRestocking the drink machines (because from experience, they just have anyone on hand do that)Cleaning the storeRestocking the countertopsBeing stuck in a store where no one else showed up, making them have to work with maybe two people to run an entire restaurantTaking trash outCleaning the parking lot of any litterStocking the freezerStocking the fridge (because that’s an entirely separate task done on different days)Making you stay after your shift is over because the person taking over for you either hasn’t gotten here yet or just isn’t showing up todayRegularly deal with OSHA violations because management doesn’t care that the boxes are stacked to twice your height, go grab the friesAnd anything else the manager asks you to do because the job description is specifically listed to allow them to ask you to do any job left?Because if you’re seriously claiming that, I want to meet this prodigy of a ten year old you just made up.In a vacuum it’s “press buttons and print receipts.” But only in a vacuum. There is SO much more that goes on than that, and arguing otherwise says you’re either ignorant of how food service works, or you’re just being intentionally disingenuous.Also the frick do you mean “the training from a gigantic international corporation?” They don’t train you. They give you pointers and then throw you in there. No training. You sink or swim on your first day. It’s called “exaggeration for comedic effect”.Honestly, I didn’t even finish reading your post. 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are all chores easily done by a 10 year old.And most.of.the rest are illegal, you KNOW they’re illegal, but you’d rather sit and whine about it than actually report it to the authorities. Honestly, I started the post, scrolled right past the list, glanced at the paragraph after it, and then responded. I’m not even shocked the argument is stupid.I also like how they went in hard on the clear joke and barely had a word for the rest of my post and still had to quietly remove “resources” from the quote. And with a bit of Googling, I see folks saying McD’s usually trains people for days or weeks, while some private owners don’t.Which means the genius is making false assumptions about all McD’s based on their own experience.Of course, if McD’s doesn’t train employees, that, um, actually means the job is less valuable and important. -- source link
