Title: More Wisdom From Ronald McDonald
Post by: rageaholic on November 22, 2013, 11:17:21 pm
Linky (http://money.msn.com/investing/post--mcdonald%E2%80%99s-has-more-tone-deaf-advice-for-workers)

They've done this before, but now they return with even more half assed advice.  Sing the stress away?  Seriously?!!  What kind of McNuggets have they been smoking.

And if you want some rage, check out some of the comments.  I've submitted a few to the main page.  Of course they aren't so much "fundie" as they are "asshole", but the spirit is still the same.  Here's one

Christ on a crutch!!!
If you scrubs are that unhappy working at MCDonalds or Walmart, quit the fing  job and go elsewhere.
You jerks already know you  are so inept and incompetent, that no one else will hire you and you are  still complaining.
Now you have  job and you whine because it doesn't pay more, quit the job and leave, scrubs.
You won't though, will you, no one else will hire your worthless fannies.
I was in a McD day before yesterday and watched an employee, trying to figure out how much change I should get on a $5. 55 bill, when I handed her $10.55

And I just know this is coming from a Tea Party Bible Believing Amurican!

I highly doubt that happened commenter, as the vast majority of fast food places have POS systems that tell the employee how much change to give.

Or a CEO of a certain Canadian website.

Considering I know people who have degrees in computer science, but still work in retail because of the economy, I call Fail on that.

My father has a physics degree and when the economy first fell under W he spent his days shipping boxes.

If this is true, it is terrible, and comically uncaring.  That being said, it is so bad that I kind of want to believe that this is a poe website set up by some anti-corporate or fringe pro-worker group trying to make McDonalds look bad(Greenpeace did the same thing with a website made to  look like a Shell Oil one).  The main reason I think it is a poe is the suggestions given, and also the comical Ronald McDonald pictures.  The pictures especially do not look like what would be on an employee HR website.

Oh the naivety of that statement.

I used to have difficulty understanding how a person could possibly believe that a full-time worker ought not to deserve enough money at least to eat, live in a house and afford health care. Surely if you perform a vital role within the economy that itself entitles you to enough of the wealth you produce to at least stay alive? Dignity of work, economic liberty, hard days work hard day's pay, selfishness, ect. Don't conservatives believe these things? No.

What's now obvious is that this is straight class warfare of the Feudal kind. The aristocracy deserve all income, the peasants can be "redistributed" only what little we decide to give them. That's what "redistribution" means: whatever economic distribution we devise is by definition the right one, because we deserve all income. Any system that challenges our control over all income is by definition unnatural and illegitimate, because we deserve all income. You deserve none, but we might decide to give you some anyway because we're nice. If we decide not to, that's fine.

The only problem with this is, of course, that the poor will murder you when they figure out you believe that.

They don't think of it as a vital role.  They think of these jobs as "jobs for people too lazy to get a real job," as "jobs that anyone can do."

I've had the son of a CEO outright tell me that he was against the minimum wage being raised because "Most people on minimum wage are just teenagers living at home waiting to get a real job" or something along those lines.  To be fair, he's pretty clueless about economics.

As we all know, the shopfront workers are just overhead. With a few supervisors and obviously the bureaucracy, Walmart could operate exactly as it does now. They do all the real work- pencil pushing, branding, PR, making sure technicians achieve KPIs, lobbying and so on. It is these tasks that keep the company profitable, they're totally irreplaceable. Merely selling or making product is not really useful, after all. Walmart only employs its millions of minimum wage employees out of a sense of charity.

Sadly, the average Republican has yet to think the logic that far out.

The ones that have are the ones that don't care.

And the ones that do care... are now Democrats.

It was originally Sing the desire to kill self in order to end the mind numbingly awful hell that is your existence working at McDonalds away.

...Uh, what?
