Clownen McDonald hjälper sina anställda att överleva på en urusel lön!

2013-11-21. - Istället för att betala sina anställda en anständig lön så driver den internationella hamburgerkedjan McDonalds en speciell webbsajt för att hjälpa de fattiga anställda. - Där får arbetarna goda råd om hur de skall överleva på den urusla lön som McDonalds erbjuder...
***


- På McDonalds webbsajt utbildas arbetarna i den svåra konsten att överleva, samtidigt som man arbetar åt just McDonalds. Bland de goda råd som ges finns bland annat:

• Arbetaren bör bryta sönder sin mat i mindre bitar. Då äter arbetaren ofta mindre, samtidigt som han/hon känner sig mättare.
  ***
• Arbetaren bör sluta att klaga och gnälla eftersom ett sådant beteende ökar stresshormonerna.
  ***
• Arbetaren kan sänka sitt blodtryck och bli effektivare på jobbet om han/hon sjunger med till sin favoritsång.
  ***
• Arbetaren bör ta 2 semestrar om året. (Vilket blir svårt då många McDonaldsanställda har 2 jobb samtidigt och ändå inte råd till någon semester alls...)
  ***
• Arbetaren kan lämna tillbaka saker som han/hon köpt på öppet köp och även sälja en del av sina ägodelar på eBay.

McDonald's to employees: Break your food in small pieces to feel full

***

RT 2013-11-21.
McDonald’s is under fire once again, this time for suggesting employees break up their food into smaller pieces to get full and to sell personal belongings on eBay or Craigslist for cash.

These recommendations, along with others, were made public on Tuesday when the activist group Low Pay Is Not OK, which promotes higher wages for fast food workers, posted a YouTube video concerning the McResource employee website.

The McResource site is intended to help employees cope with stress, health, and financial issues. Among its proposals were lowering blood pressure by “singing along to your favorite songs,” “breaking food into pieces” so that you can get full on less of it, and taking at least two vacations a year. The latter may be difficult for those working two jobs to make ends meet, as a McDonald’s employee budget calculator was found to assume earlier this year

Additionally, the website recommended freeing up some cash by returning “unopened purchases” and “selling some of your unwanted possessions on eBay or Craigslist.”

At one point, the website even told employees to “quit complaining” because ten minutes of complaining raises stress hormone levels.

According to a statement given to NBC News, McDonald’s said these “rotating quick tips” were taken out of context by Low Pay Is Not OK, and that much of the website’s content is “based on credible outside experts and well-published advice.”

“This is an attempt by an outside organization to undermine a well-intended employee assistance resource website by taking isolated portions out of context," the statement read.

The company also added that the content is produced by an independent company, which they will work with to make "any necessary adjustments to the information to make sure that it stays a trusted, accurate, and useful tool for employees who choose to use it."

In October, Low Pay Is Not OK published a recording showing an employee calling the McResource site to ask for financial assistance. The recording made waves for showing hotline operators telling the woman to inquire about food pantries and enrolling in federal programs like food stamps and Medicaid.

A week before that recording was published, a study revealed that 52 percent of the families surviving on employment by fast food companies are registered in one or more public assistance programs. In comparison, 25 percent of the overall workforce is similarly enrolled in such programs.
