- McJobs and Workers -IT IS TIME TO UNITE AND DO SOMETHING.In Reply to: PLEASEDONTREAD THIS! posted by BEFOREANDAFTER on May 01, 1998 at 11:51:42:
RIGHT NOW I AM SITTING HERE AND I AM FUMING!!! WHY? YOU ASK YOURSELF? IT IS BECAUSE I HAD WRITTEN A MESSEAGE ON THIS BORED MONTHS AGO THAT NEVER APPEARED HERE AS IT SHOULD HAVE MAYBE IT WAS MY TITLE OR SOMETHING I DO NOT KNOW. BUT I HAD TITLED IT "SEX, DRUGS, AND BIG MACS", THE REASON I WROTE THIS IS TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE SCENE BEHIND MCDONALDS. ABOUT ALL THE SEXUAL-HARRASSEMENT, ABOUT THE DEALING DRUGS IN DRIV-THRU, AND HOW MCDONALDS HAS CONSISTENLY COVERED THESE THINGS UP. NOW THAT I HAVE READ YOUR STORY AND THE OTHER LADIES, WHO HAD BREAST CANCER AND WAS FIRED I AM REALLY PISSED OFF!!!! WHY? WHY, WOULD I TAKE THIS PERSONAL? BECAUSE I HAVE WRITTEN MY "STORY" WITH ALOT TAKEN OUT JUST HIT ON SOME POINTS ABOUT MCDONALDS AND THE UNFAIR AND HURTFUL TREATMENT. I NEVER WENT ON TO TELL OF HOW I WAS STRUGGLEING WITH MY DAUGHTERS DEATH AND FATHERS DEATH, AND TRYING TO REGAIN SANITY, THEN FIND OUT FROM THE DOCTOR THAT I HAD A LUMP ON MY BREAST, AND FEARED IT WAS MALIGNANT, TRUE AT THIS TIME DYING IS SOMETHING THAT CROSSED MY MIND. BECAUSE OF THE SHOCK AND DEVASTION WITH MY DAUGHTER THAT DIED. BUT I HAD TWO OTHER SMALL CHILDREN AND THEY KEPT ME GOING, AND I KNEW THAT THEY NEEDED ME. ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS I STRUGGLED AT WORK DAILY WITH THE SEXUAL COMMENTS AT MY WORK FOCUSED ON ME. I DO ADMIT I AM NOT UGLY, BUT THAT GIVES NO ONE AN INVITATION TO "COME ON TO ME" OR MAKE SEXUAL COMMENTS TOWARDS ME SUCH AS " I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AND ANOTHER WOMAN TOGETHER" OR "I WOULDNT LAST 5 MINUTES, IF I HAD YOU IN BED" OR TO ACTUALLY HAVE MY HAND PLACED ON MY SUPERVISORS "PENIS" SO HE COULD GET A "THRILL" OR FEEL "SUPERIOUR" THAN THE OTHER MALES THAT HAS COME ON TO ME. MY STORE MANAGER EVEN TOOK ME INTO THE FREEZER AND MADE A PASS AT ME, I BACKED UP TO THE FREEZER DOOR IN FEAR. HE WAS A HUGE MAN!!! HE TOLD ME HIM AND HIS WIFE HASNT "DONE IT" IN SO LONG. WHY, WOULD I CARE ABOUT THAT? THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAPPENED 5 MONTHS AFTER MY DAUGHTER WAS KILLED. HOW COULD SOME PEOPLE FEEL NO SHAME OR PITY? HE EVEN TOLD ME ON MY ARRIVAL BACK TO WORK TO GIVE HIM 2 WEEKS HE WOULD IMTIMIDATE ME. BECAUSE OTHER WERE. I LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID IN A VERY DRY TONE "I DONT THINK SO, NOT MUCH SCARES ME OR INTIMIDATES ME ANYMORE" HE GAURENTEED ME HE WOULD. AND THAT I DO ADMIT HE DID IN THE FREEZER. I WAS FIRED. FOR DRINKING AT OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY. A PLACE AND ACTIVITY I DID NOT WANT TO GO TO. I WAS SCHEDULED TO WORK, NOT TO GO TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY. WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR ME TO WORK, THAT IT WAS JUST TO SOON AFTER MY DAUGHTER'S DEATH, THE STORE MANAGER CAME TO THE STORE THAT NIGHT AND DEMANDED ME TO GO YELLING "YOU WILL BE THERE I EXPECT TO SEE YOU THERE" AND LEFT. LEAVING ME SHAKENED AND HAVEING AN ANIXETY ATTACK IN THE STORE. (I STARTED HAVING ANXIETY ATTACKS AFTER MY DAUGHTER AND FATHER DIED) SO I ENDED UP GOING AND WAS TOLD GO AHEAD DRINK A BEER. SO I DRANK TWO. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BECAUSE OF THE MEDICINE I WAS ON. BUT IT HAD NOT ENOUGH TO TIME TO TAKE AFFECT BEFORE I HAD TO GO. THE NEXT DAY I WAS PUT ON SUSPENSION UNTIL THEY CONSIDERED WHAT TO DO WITH ME, FOR DRINKING AND RETURNING TO WORK. EVEN THOUGH IT IS WRITTEN IN THE MANAGER POLICY MANUAL, THAT IT IS FINE IF IT IS A MCDONALDS SUPERVISED FUNCTION OR ACTIVITY. AND I WAS TOLD TO GO AHEAD AND DRINK A BEER.!!!!!SO WAS I SET UP? WAS THIS PLANNED TO GET ME OUT OF THERE? WAS THIS BECAUSE I WOULDNT SLEEP WITH MY STORE MANAGER AND HIS BOSS, MY SUPERVISOR? I DONT KNOW, BUT IT HAS REALLY GOT TO STOP, SOMEONE MUST OPEN THE PUBLICS EYES TO THIS!!!!!!!! THE GOINGS ON BEHIND THE SCENE AT THE BIGGEST FAST FOOD CHAIN. MCDONALDS!!!!!!!IT HAPPENS AND OBVIOUSLY NOT JUST TO ME. SO IT IS TIME TO UNITE AND DO SOMETHING. MY E-MAIL IS wildfire_01@hotmail.com IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TALK OR TAKE ACTION AGAINST THIS. I DO HAVE A LAWSUIT YES, BUT MCDONALDS CAN KEEP PUSHING IT BACK FOR AT LEAST 7 YEARS. THE $ I AM NOT INTERESTED IN, THE JUSTICE I AM THOUGH. ALSO PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE KIND OF HAPPENINGS!!! IF THEY DID I DO NOT BELEIVE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WOULD GO THERE. WHY? BECAUSE WE AS PEOPLE CAN ONLY CLOSE OUR EYES TO SO MUCH BEFORE IT STARTS TO PENITRATE OUR HEARTS AND MORALS. THEN SOME WOULD LOOK AT THEIR OWN CHILDREN AND THANK GOD FOR THEM AND WONDER "WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE IN THAT SITUATION" NOT MANY CAME EVEN IMAGINE LOSING A CHILD FROM NATURAL CAUSES LET ALONE HAVE ONE (2YEAR OLD) RAN OVER IN THEIR OWN DRIVE WAY AND COME OUT PERFECTLY UNSCAVED OR UNTOUCHED BY THAT. NO I AM NOT UNTOUCHED, AND STILL HAVE BAD DAYS THE DOCTORS SAY THAT IS NORMAL. SO WHY DID MCDONALDS FEEL AFTER TWO WEEKS I SHOULD BE THE SAME AS BEFORE? IT IS NOT HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
