I don't find it necessary to bag on this lady given the fact she's shown up for work 10 years and is apparently good enough to keep her job. I'd rather save ire for those who refuse to work or who commit crimes.

It was my job to do just that for several years. I was a fast food manager for most of my 20's. It's also incredibly easy to move up in fast food. You either have the ability or you don't. For the vast majority, the ability is there but the will holds them back. Those without the ability will need social programs to avoid poverty regardless of employer.

It's not bagging on her. If you are making minimum wage in a fast food place after ten years it's your own fault.

That's a different situation, working for tips. You get immediately rewarded for your effort. I mean that in fast food you will get plenty of hours and rise to a higher position if you are worthy of it. If it doesn't happen within ten years you either aren't doing something right or you're working for the wrong place.

Without reading the posts I am curious. Seems the problem with people on welfare is that they are moochers who live on it. In this case it is a woman who worked there for 10 years and can't make it.
You can make all the excuses in the world: she didn't educate herself for a higher paying job, they are cheap etc. But it comes down to the fact that minimum wage (which she is above) isn't cutting it. The fact remains that she isn't getting a chance to make a living. I'll be honest and say if there needs to be some government intervention, it shouldn't be in the form of raising minimum wage. It should be a percentage increase in years worked. Furthermore, if the wage increases by the employer the lower the amount of government assistance she is eligible for. |

Not sure if I'm right here but if she had taken "that chance" and was promoted to manager or whatnot, wouldn't that have prevented Jane Doe from getting that position and she'd be the one instead on food stamps? Seems there's only so many seats when the music stops.

She works at McDonalds. That is a job for highschool kids, not a job to raise a family and pay all the bills in a household. We are not a socialist country (yet) so having any form of government intervention is completely out of the question. And on avg a person the owns 1 McDonalds franchise takes home around 100k a year. They are not greedy millionaire owners treating there workers like crap. This country is going down the crapper at an alarming rate...

I don't see why the fast food workers are demonized so much while people ignore the hidden subsidies that businesses like WalMart and McDonalds receive by having the US's safety net as a "fringe benefit".
Not everyone has the talent nor desire to be management. People that are content with those jobs shouldn't live high on the hog, but they should earn enough to not require welfare programs to survive (granted they are full time workers). |
