Getting his job back at McDonald’s probably changes nothing for him in the long run. McDonald’s will never view him the same.

Before I jump on the bash McDonald’s band wagon a couple of things here. Did he just not show up for work that night? The way the story is written it appears he did just that. Is this McDonald’s corporate owned or a franchise? By boycotting, you are really hurting the other workers there.

There is more to this story that what is being reported. I have never worked for a company that did not make consessions for family emergencies.

I do have a soft spot for McDonalds. Why? Because in 1991-1992 my youngest son Timmy was fighting leukemia. We stayed at Ronald McDonald House at NO COST TO ME. It was a wonderful experience.

Like I said there is more to this story than meets the eye.

True, but perhaps because of the publicity, he will be offered a job elsewhere. One of McDonald's competitors could make hay out of this.

Shame on whoever made the decision to fire this guy.
