It's not about being rewarded for your efforts.

: normally id agree with you because i also work there but ive just had my PR and only got a 7p payrise when i have worked my hardest. i never feel rewarded for my efforts and it upsets me when i see people i train get their stars before me. its not fair although id never leave cos i love it

It's not about being rewarded for your efforts. Noboby at my restuarant accepts the validity of performance reviews and those OCL's we suddenly find we've 'completed'. We are all aware that McDonald's are using us with rates of pay only marginally above the minimum but the truth is every part time crew member who works at McDonald's is using them in return. No where else could I get a job during my A-Level years that was one shift a week, and, if you know how, on what ever day, at what ever time you like. It works both ways so nobody who works there gives a shit. If we did We'd ALL quit.
