: : I have worked for this joint for 3 and a half years and it isn't what everyone expects it to be (all the good food and meeting new people). It sucks. no benefits. no free meals for anyone. just a half off meal. wooooooopeeeee. we need to pay bills too u know. this really ticks me off now anyway. it didn't 3 years ago. now that bills are piling up i can't stand even looking at McDonald's. i think i speak for all the real CREW PEOPLE
: Well, what do you expect working CREW in a fast food joint?!! It's an
: ENTRY LEVEL position!!! Instead of posting whiney messages like this,
: why don't you concentrate on doing the best damn job you can, there
: might be a PROMOTION in it for you! To maybe Crew Supervisor, or even
: Assistant Manager. Who knows? Someday you may own the franchise!
: Call me a selfish asshole, but I personally don't want to pay $9 for a
: combo meal or $5 for a Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese alone.
: If it's really that bad working there, then another option might be to
: seek employment at any business that provides good next step up jobs,
: something preferably related to the college degree you are seeking.

PROMOTION IS NOT THE ANSWER. QUESTION THE VERY GROUNDS ON WHICH MCDONALDS IS BASED. THE WORK IS CRAP, ON ALL LEVELS. CREW JUST HAPPEN TO BE THE WORST OF A BAD BUNCH. A MANAGERIAL POSITION AT MCDONALDS IS IN NO WAY A DESIRABLE ONE. WORKING YOUR WAY UP THE LADDER MIGHT MAKE YOU MORE MONEY, BUT IT ALSO MAKES YOU LOSE YOUR IDENTITY. RATHER THAN WORK HARD TO IMPRESS PEOPLE JUST SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE MORE POWER (NOT THAT MUCH THOUGH), GET A DECENT JOB FOR A DECENT COMPANY. DON'T GET SUCKED INTO THAT "GOTTA REACH THE TOP" FRAME OF MIND. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO FIND JOY
