A six figure job plus perks for the ability to lie with a strait face. I’ll bet the management of McDonald’s has been totally infiltrated and is now totally controlled by leftists. They are in the early stages of financial problems.
“A six figure job plus perks for the ability to lie with a strait face. I’ll bet the management of McDonald’s has been totally infiltrated and is now totally controlled by leftists.”
It is a Chicago based corporation and certainly its senior executives have been involved in Chicago politics and the Chicago way for decades.
The board of directors has been dominated by corporatists and leftists for more than two decades. When Ray Kroc, the man who built McDonalds into the leading fast food company and dominant burger maker in the world, died in 1984 his wife came out of the closet as a flaming liberal giving much of the fortune to leftist causes.
Many American corporations follow the same path. A product visionary and customer service oriented founder/CEO builds a brand. As soon as he is gone from the scene the financial and legal paper pushers take over the executive suit and shift the focus from customers and product to playing the Wall Street game and cutting costs.
The story always ends the same way. A few years of enhanced sales, profits and executive bonuses before the cost cutting and falling employee morale result in declining product quality and customer service. Then the “turnaround” when the product value proposition is commoditized (think the dollar menu) in a desperate attempt to drive sales. Then more cost cutting and the death spiral accelerates. We can see the same thing happening at Sears and Kmart today.
Ray Kroc once said, ““If I had a brick for every time I’ve repeated the phrase Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value, I think I’d probably be able to bridge the Atlantic Ocean with them.” Ray Kroc’s success formula is as valid today as it was when he was building the company and as demonstrated today by Chick fil A, Five Guys, Panera Bread, and other restaurant competitors. Unfortunately the beancounters and lawyers who control most corporations don’t work in or visit the stores, don’t understand product quality and have no concept of value for the average American with whom they have nothing in common. If they did, the turnaround would already be accomplished.
