How the fukk do you keep the same meager wage for 10 years?

I wonder if this person had those 4 kids prior to having the same shytty job with the same shytty wage for 10 years, or if there was a conscious decision to have more children during that time?

:patrice:

Good luck with that $15 though... I'm sure the customers will continue flocking to McDonald's and other fast food places.

The new McDonald's dollar menu... water and condiments.

Why would you work at mcdonalds for 10 years. This guy doesnt understand economics and market value. Why would a mcdonalds register clerk be making 20 dollars an hour. This is a skill a child could learn.

I'm glad this came up on here

I think people 30 and above should be salaried for a range of hours like I they work 30 hours they should make $40,000 minimum, 30 hours, $30,000

Then under 30 they employee should be allowed to choose between benefits or more pay

No

People should earn their keep and make better decisions. U dont have to be a STEM wiz to make a decent living. U DO have to know your way around a computer/corporate America/basic processes though.

I made 8/hr on my first job when I was 14. Worked 16+hrs a week.
When I was 21 I worked a night shift at Wawa and made $7.50/ hr 33 hrs a week.

As bad as CEO to worker pay ratios are there's still no reason an adult should put up with that kind of wage for 10 years while trying to support a family. At some point there's gotta be personal accountability.

You shouldnt be working at Mcdikks for more than 2 years unless you're a manager. It's a starting point, not a career. Use that job to live on while you find other avenues to come up.

I think people are missing the point.

Yes, if you're working at McD's for 10 years and still making less than $8/hr you've clearly made some poor decisions somewhere along the line. But the point is, if we have a bunch of people trying to support themselves off that wage, then it's likely they'll be getting food stamps, bridge cards, welfare, etc. and putting more of a burden on taxpayers. Not to mention that it contributes to the excessive income inequality that we have (which is bad for the economy in general).

Not to say that people at McDonalds should be paid a lot, but I don't see why they can't come out of $10/hr. If they have to raise prices a little bit (not that they really would have to, but..) then I'd say it's a worthwhile tradeoff. I mean it's not like people eating less fast food would be a bad thing. :heh:

Out one hand and into the other. Truthfully Id rather subsidize the brehs. Someone who works at McDonalds for 10 yrs mite not be good at handling their finances. Would potentially spend food money on something else :lupe:
