Great line!
Why does the author berate these jobs? If you’re unemployed, money is money!
I predict America will sacrifice fast food buying to maintain driving their existing SUV’s for the next couple of years.
Wait, don’t you understand that with a Democrat in office those are “career ladder” jobs not “burger flipping” jobs. Get on message please.
Burger King laying off hundreds. Of course they didn’t get an ObamaCare waiver.
It’s because of the health care plan.
If a Republican were President this would be proof of desperation. With Obama it proof of a rosy economic outlook.
It’ll be refereshing to order from someone who has a little pride in their work for once.
How many hours a week will these new hires be able to work? After all the publicity over this settles down, how many will be laid off? Will McD’s have to raise their prices to accommodate for these new hires and if so how many customers will opt for the competition’s dollar burger?
This was all a publicity stunt that will soon backfire on McD’s.
I had read somewhere (possibly here) that this was so they could dump more of their full-time workers, since part-timers don’t get benefits. By hiring enough part-timers to fill all shifts, they end up saving on benefit and healthcare costs. Also, part-timers get lower salaries, so the net outlay for salary costs probably drops too.
The only way Americans will get burger flipper jobs and other low wage jobs is to boot out millions of illegal aliens which should have been done ages ago.
If you see an Hispanic crew working at McDondalds you won’t get a job there. Or if you do.... you will be knifed because you being hired meant some else’s cousin did not
Ouch! Jimmy Carter didn’t even get treatment this rough.
Look at the bright side: For the moment, we’re still in a “McJobs” style downturn. Americans will soon look back wistfully on the days when McJobs were plentiful and they could find burger-flipping jobs, or at least that’s our future if Obama stays in office much longer.
Paraphrasing what is going around.
A public employee union member, a CEO and a tea party guy are sitting looking at a dozen jobs opened up in the economy. The CEO grabs 11 jobs and exports them and says to the tea party guy ‘watch out for that union guy, he wants to get ahead of you in the McJob line’.
