No excerpt from Bloomberg allowed, story here.
Yep, that horrible low unemployment rate. They gotta impeach Trump, if the poor make more money how will they grovel at the feet of rich liberals for crumbs from the government table?
Did you read the article?
Well they did win the Franchise Wars.
Fast food is the fast track to management positions. If you start out at 16 and then go to work full time after you graduate high school, you can probably land a good management position in a lot quicker time than if you waste 4 or 5 years getting a liberal arts degree from a university.
After you work management for a few years, if you work hard, you can get a general manager position, which would include large bonuses or you could move into a white collar position the corporate office.
I believe that the current CEO of Walmart started out by retrieving carts in the parking lot.
It’s a pay site. Why would anyone direct us to a pay site without mentioning it?
I wish I could read it. Mikey Bloomberg and his paywall won’t let me
You see, Bloomberg is all for big, tall walls around his stuff!
It would be nice to have a summary at least. Don’t know if this is what caused the Bloomberg article to be written, but Taco Bell has “Ubered” some shifts. Let’s say I get 15 hours at my home location, but could use some extra money and want to pick up an extra shift. I can go to the app when I am free and see if another store in my area needs coverage. It may be because they are unexpectedly busy or some one called in sick. Depending on the needs of the store there may be a higher hourly wage for that shift.
What this has done for Taco Bell is help ensure they have enough coverage at each store. This has improved both customer and employee satisfaction. I bet there are a few people playing the app right and making good money.
Widely reported last year that the average store manager at Wal-Mart makes $175,000 a year, and those with a few years at the company (which is most of them) are clearing well over $200,000 a year. And they earn it; 80+ hour work weeks are the rule, huge personnel turnover, and if your “shrinkage” is consistently outside the limits, you’re gone.
But not bad, considering most SuperCenter managers don’t have college degrees.
Hillary got on the board of directors at Wal-Mart and she only had to sleep with the governor of Arkansas to get there.
Taco Bell is acting all grandiose paying managers $100k and giving the “team” more perks. Excuse me, but it’s the customers who are really paying it. They may see some of their customer base going across the street to McDonald’s.
I don’t think that ever happened.

Why are we posting from Bloomberg?
“After you work management for a few years, if you work hard, you can get a general manager position, which would include large bonuses or you could move into a white collar position the corporate office.”
And the company will pay for your degree.

80+ hour work weeks?
They’d have to pay me 500k per year to live at their freaking stores. Why not just install apartments in their basements? That way the employees never have to leave work.
Restaurants including Olive Garden owner Darden Restaurants Inc. and Shake Shack Inc. have recently called out labor inflation that’s hurting margins.
labor inflation = higher wages
And the article also complains about "stubbornly low unemployment" being some kind of "problem".
Jeez, these liberals live in complete darkness 24/7/365.
What, if anything would make them happy?
High unemployment and low wages?
