McDonald's all ready for the new NO OT rules

Sorry if this has been posted before.


I went into a McDonald's today and sitting right next to the register was a stack of maybe 200 pretty flyers with smiling faces all around stating, "McDonald's is now hiring Salaried Managers"........

Maybe McDonald's has always paid their "Managers" by salary... But I would almost bet not.

1. Willing to bet most, if not all managers and assistant managers of fast

food joints are salaried. They will probably 'promote' any crew leaders to salary too. The hours the managers/assistants put in probably bring their pay down to where they are getting way below minimum wage. If they can't get enough bodies on staff and trained, they end up doing the shifts they are shorthanded for. Since the pay sucks, many can't get staff hired or keep them long if they do manage to hire someone.

They are just about indentured servants. Treated like shit and expected to act 'professional'. It is a backbreaking task. In many places, they also deal with drive by or even inside shootings.

I will guess fast food workers will not be big bush* supporters. Any burger flipper will probably be 'promoted' to executive chef and put on salary.

2. Yup, All Around the Country, Lot's Of Companies Are Going To Be Handing

Out lot's of promotions to a lot of people who probably didn't expect one. And all around the country, lot's of people are all of a sudden going to find they are making less money.

will lose OT.

5. Promotion to be the Working Poor

This is the gift to the Capitalists. Twist the defintion of "managerial" to avoid paying OT. The Neo Fascists are experts in perverting language.

7. Some managers at McDonalds have always been salaried.

I know this because my mother was a salaried manager there about ten years ago, and she wasn't the only one. The swing managers are paid by the hour, but the assistants are all salaried. She made pretty good money there, too.

8. In my company managers are salaried and so

when someone used to be promoted to salaried vs. hourly it used to be considered a step up. This happened a lot when someone had been with the company for some years and had accumulated experience. Also, only college grads would be promoted to salaried. What has been happening although the company likes to have people think they are still "promotions" is they take people who are putting in a lot of overtime and "promote" them. They give them a little raise to make them feel important and then get 60-80 hours work out of them. Isn't that nice? I am sure it will be happening more often now.
