McDonald’s actually has a program so that “fry cooks” can move up in the organization and even go to McDonald’s school to learn about people skills and managing staff.
There are stories about corporations where people move up from the mail room to the boardroom but that doesn’t happen these days even with a degree and 20 years dedication in an office environment.
But McDonald’s still boasts that you can work up to higher positions in the company and not just at a franchise (because they do move talent).
Whatever happened to the guy who had orgasms at that townhall meeting with Obama thanking him profusely and complaining about being stuck at a fast food job for 5 years without a raise.
” 20 years dedication in an office environment.”
That is getting to be a lesser and lesser occurrence.
One of my sons is in the top tier of his tech field and gets at least one job offer a month from head hunters or from people he has worked with in the past that have moved on to other companies.
In the past 10 years he’s worked for 4 different companies with the longest stint being 5 years with the first one that he started with out right out of college.
