I love happy endings.

I believe the work while sick part, but manager died part? Those F(*&&ers are immortal. They came with the building and never leave.

This is what I want to have happen to this administration, RFK, ICE agents and alligator alacatraz - let them come in contact one incredibly sick, person that they are unwilling to treat and then let them get so sick they die - but not before bringing the illness home to their unvaccinated, little gestappo families and getting them sick first.

I was forced to stay at work (at a grocery store deli department) while nauseous from menstrual cramps. I almost threw up in a trash bin in the back. That was not the best job.
NinjaCongo
As did some of the patrons, presumably.

Should have immediately contacted a health inspector.

Wasn't expecting a happy ending.

I love a happy ending.

Before opening, I complained to some co-workers that I didn’t feel good. The swine flu scare was real during this time. Management & other co-workers shamed me for showing up to work. I explained that I didn’t feel well, but I had no flu symptoms. They shamed me in front of everybody & sent me home crying. Next day management calls to ask if I was showing up to work my shift… I wasn’t sick, but I took that extra day off.

This kills the manager.

I assure you being forced to work while ill is not just a modern problem.

not to worry, classic solutions work for classic problems just as well =]

Had a shift leader that made me come in when I had covid, then after I was at work for like an hour came in with a test, which was positive.

Within a day or two several other people ended up popping.

80% of H1N1 deaths were people under the age of 65. Most McDs managers are in the 35-45 range. This is totally plausible.

1.) I remember this call center in cebu, notorious shit company, my ex used to work there (Mind that we were still living together even after the break up) She came home one day all pale and sick, and she was told to come in still the next day, it was the worst flu she's ever had, she had medical certificate from a doctor that she SHOULD NOT COME IN, but her Manager demanded that she come in or she's fired, and ignored the doctor's advise, she came in and everyone from her account got the flu.

2.) So on the third day, after I convinced her that her company was shit and that she can resign and still live with me till she gets back on her feet financially, I would support her all the way, she finally agreed and handed over her resignation (While sick, mind you) and the company had the gall to have her sacked with her last pay being -19,000 PHP, she owes the company apparently, so the company got sued to hell and back, turns out, me calling them shit was an understatement.

3.) It was settled out of court, and being that my ex is a quiet and conserved woman and hates trouble, it was settled out of court, turns out, this company have been doing this shit to all of their lower level employees, they're quite popular on facebook for their antics.

In Metro Detroit a McDonald's manager got stabbed to death this morning for sending an employee home.
7YearsALurker
I guess that’s jst what it’s like to be an employee in a society where the employer holds all the cards. Here in Denmark, McDonalds is considered to be quite a desirable workplace amongst younger people. They get paid quite well, and everyting, such as salary, hours, shift times, overtime, breaks, pretty much _everything_ that has to do with work conditions, is regulated by a union contract (which covers ALL employees, unionized or not.)

Y'all need some trade unions in your lives.
TeddyBruhsvelt
This could have been [horrified European staring] because we have, yknow, decent workers rights union wide... but yes. Americans having to live with "your employer can fire you any time for any reason, including just because they feel like it" honestly terrifies me as a concept
raftus
As a Canadian almost everything about america terrifies me as a concept
TeddyBruhsvelt
I mean this is also how we feel here in Europe, it just wasnt the topic of conversation haha Sorry you have to be their neighbour...
crann
As an American I am also terrified, and I am also sorry they have us as a neighbor. There is mild panic at the back of my brain at all times now. It is starting to feel claustrophobic. I live in the rural south and work in the public sector and lean pretty damn far left. I feel so fucking trapped. Bringing it back to unions, god I would love some of those protections right about now, for me and my community.

Karma isnt real. That's just the McConcequences of managing like a McDickweed.

It's only Karma when it's from the southern slopes of Karmastan. Otherwise, it's just sparkling finding out.

You can't say "Karma isn't real" and more than someone can say "Karma is real". What we can say, is that Karma is fundamentally unprovable.

foxpotate
Please point to where they said the manager was reincarnated as a taco bell addicted horse's asshole as punishment for their shitty behavior. The definition they went for was attributing magic to cause and immediate effect. Which is inherently not real as a disease spreads via infective vector. Not magic.
AVerySillyPuppy
More to the point. In this case she is way more right than you are giving her credit for. Magic need not be a factor in the first place. He was only exposed to the disease at all because of his insensitive decision that made her come to work sick in the first place.
AVerySillyPuppy
Prove that magic can't influence what would otherwise be chaotic, inherently unpredictable fluctuations in things like Brownian motion of germs through the air which could influence whether or not a disease spreads in an exposure scenario that could otherwise go either way.

*Ice cream
JaceTiger
Considering it's easier to say that than saying "it requires a reboot that can only be done by an employee of the manufacturer, even though it just had a small clog for 2 seconds. We don't know when they will come to reboot it, either." I'm willing to give the employees slack for that one.
evilspyre
Plus the employees hate cleaning it, so if its never used it never needs cleaning.
HiddenSanity
As someone that's worked fast food... cleaning anything with lean staffing policies in place is a pain. Stuff like maintenance and cleaning only happens if there's a lot less customers than expected.
JaceTiger
They really can't clean anything but the outside afaik. Had a friend that worked there years ago and their chief complaint was the company that handles the ice cream machine never told them when they were coming to fix it.
Clockworkdancerobot
It's actually a feature. The company that makes the machine makes it complex on purpose and takes in 25% of their revenue on service calls.
tavinjer
And also sued the competitor that tried to fix the problem into oblivion, iirc.
IslaNublar
It's in the licensing agreement franchise owners must sign that ALL maintenance for the machine must be done by the manufacturer only, because McD's corpo gets a kickback each time. So the manufacturer purposefully designed the machine to error itself out on practically anything.
Krossis
Seems like a shitty move on mcdonalds part to buy that machine
Clockworkdancerobot
Yup. Franchise deals help corporate. The squeeze has been going on for ages. It's why many franchise owners don't start making money till they own more than one or a few locations. And it incentivizes wage theft.

If you are already eating McDonald's, probably just quickened the death.
WellAckchually
Because if you don't eat McDonald's you don't die? Everything just quickens death, but I'd rather die eating burgers than puking my guts out.
cloverleafbane
But puking makes more room for hamburgers. At that point it’s just a matter of willpower to eat more burgers.
