: I have been working at my McDonald's for almost three years. In that time I have recieved excellent evaluations and have always recived a raise as I am suppose to (Many of my co-workers do not) I consider myself a good employee. A few months ago my general mager was fired for undisclosed reasons. Even he himself doesn't know, and as far as I have been able to find out it was purely for personal reasons that my supervisor did so ( He has a friend he wanted to promote and dislike my manger because they had not gotten along when the latter was the current supervisors boss) Since the gm has been fired my store has become a communist country. Almost all managers (except those positoned there to spy on the general manager) and trainers either quit or have been fired for some insignifact reason in most cases. Since than an air of oppression has filled my once beloced store. Rules change weekly as do the placement of all items (including the the portable refridgerators) and there are no signs hung up to let us know; therefore we are expected to be phycics (This makes it hard for me to do my job, if I don't know what the rules are and where things are) Our newsletter which contained new procedures and such as stated previously has been deemed finnancialy impossible (Former General Manager paid to make the copies of the newsletter, our owner wouldn't pay and will not now. Btw our owner is one of the lowest people I know: He is a deadbeat dead, has fired people for being gay or old, comes in drunk often, and was accused by another owner of tring to burn down another McDonald's-this is an understatement not an exageration) We are no longer allowed to talk what so ever (is this allowed?) I am frequently given drawers which I have not counted. Kids are forced to work illegal shifts. We are never allowed to go home on time, I ussally leave 30 mins after my shift is over on weekends. Signoffs are often ignored, and we are treated terribly. My new general manager has hinted I may not get a raise because I make mc bugler81: I AM NOT RELATED TO "Captain Otto retired."
I am only a private Otto retired. The retired is from McDonald's, not the military. BUT, the captain is right. Get Flint out of your head.
Don't go down that union road. You are too young and they want to poison your mind like McDonald's.
You are between a rock and a hard place. My advice is to move onward and upward to something you are happy doing.
The army may be the answer. It helps people grow up in a hurry.

McSpotlight: Ah. I rejected a couple of moderately objectionable posts from "Captain Otto Ret'd" earlier today; they weren't productive and I thought he was trying to pass himself off as you...
None.
