The stress of  being a Mc donalds crew member
Pros: You get a free lunch and the managers are lenient enough that when I turned up late they let me off. Also when I call in sick and ask for holiday time off.
Cons: The managers constantly speaking in their language and when I do something wrong on accident they would turn around and talk about me in their language and make it so obvious. The staff are alright but I had the same issue being one of a few people actually born in this country, they all spoke in their language. I barely had any training and I'm suppose to train other new people yet I dont get extra pay like crew trainers. I ask a question I;m unsure about and all I get is sass from the managers. They are young and unqualfied and don't know how to deal with customers. They frequently ignore complaints, talk about customers in their language. They favour their own people and don't bother with anyone else, this is how they even rise up to management. There was one girl being black african who was just as qualified as the shift managers in training and when she asked to become one aswell, they blatantly said no. We are all labourers and a spare body to be used. They have no respect for the elder crew members and don't take our complaints seriously. I am expected to do overtime constantly without question. I am planning on leaving this soul sucking job as I only needed it for a year until I go unversity but I don't deserve to be treated like dirt. MC donalds is a terrible company who only shorten the lives of their 'beloved' customers. Another thing being the customer themselves who constantky have something to complain or be angry about. When they are upset they take it out on you, if their order goes wrong they take it out on you. If their family has annoyed them they take it out on you. They treat Mc donalds like its below them and the workers all the same yet they come everyday and order the same thing. Their is no gratitude or respect working at Mc donalds, you gain nothing and leave empty handed with low self esteem and confidence issues. If you handle pressure really badly then I advise you to stay away from Mc donalds better yet stay away from fast food chains because its like its their nature to treat people like their food. Complete and utter rubbish.

I am done.
