    So far because of your advice I have gotten employee of the month 2 out of the 3 months I have worked at mcdonalds. And This is the first time I've been in the fast food industry, I normally work construction or factory jobs. your advice is amazingly on point! I work the grill and fryer station at my mcdonalds, and i constantly am keeping my fryer station clean from grease and steaming the grill to clean off burnt on residue. And been told by my gm(General manager) "that's the main reason why I got employee of the month." This video is an essential must watch if you want to succeed at mcdonalds!!

    I’m taking a semester off to try and become manager (8 months). I love my job so much and I really want to make a career out of this. I literally show up an hour early to make sure the store is running smoothly and they don’t need any help. If they don’t need help, while I’m waiting to clock in for my shift I find little tasks to do just to help my team out (changing garbages, stocking up etc...). I don’t feel comfortable asking for a promotion because I feel like if I deserve it they’ll step up and ask me. Is this bad?

So many successful people just say 'work hard' or some other vague concept and it doesn't really help. THIS, helped put things into perspective. Maybe you should be a life coach!

    @roachtoasties 3 года назад +2

    I can't comment about McDonald's managers but I did work at a company owned Taco Bell a long time ago, as a lead employee (sometimes a night manager, but never the store manager). The managers back then were treated like crap. A huge amount of turnover. Managers came and went. Some quit but most were fired. Managers were expected to work an enormous amount of hours for a flat manager salary. The company took advantage of the managers enormously. Pay and benefits sucked. The job was a huge amount of work. Standing and hustling from the early morning into the evening. The one thing working at Taco Bell taught me is this isn't something I would want to make a career of. As you get older, it also something physically and mentally you can't continue at the same pace doing. If you are a manager, you got to look beyond that. A different career eventually, or maybe working in the corporate offices.

    I asked my Assistant manager at Burger King how I could get kitchen training. She replied,"Do a good job out there," referring to the dining room. I responded that I have been doing good out there, that she even said I was doing good out there. I pleadingly said, "Tell me what I need to do and I'll do it!" She responded, It's just impossible." Managers there would take part in bullying me along with my coworkers. According to the police my Assistant manager even thought it was funny to subject me to misdemeanor battery. She also said, "You're so.......sad." Because I wouldn't lie to a customer's face about his order. He was an elderly gentleman who ordered decaf. This assistant manager told me to give him regular. He asked if it was decaf, I didn't feel comfortable lying to him. For all I knew he had a medical condition and his doctor told him to switch to decaf.

    • @ralphschraven339
      @ralphschraven339 3 года назад

      Remember that everyone is supervised by someone in a business. The crew is supervised by the shift leader, the shift leaders are supervised by the restaurant manager, and the restaurant manager is supervised by a district manager, who works under an operational director. That operational director works under the CEO of the company, who has a responsibility to shareholders. Shareholders obviously don't work for the company, so that's where this chain ends.
      If you have a problem with one of the shift leaders, and you can't work it out together, you come to the restaurant manager. They will usually have plenty of experience in conflict resolution and chances are if someone's being obnoxious to you, they are obnoxious to more folks. Which means the issue is already known and you're simply adding to the urgency of this issue being dealt with. Either way, the RM needs to do something.
      If they don't try to work things out, I wouldn't straight-up go to the district manager; I would first tell the restaurant manager that I'm not satisfied with how the conflict is being resolved (if at all) and mention that I'll file a formal complaint to HR if they don't take action. HR is its own branch and will need to act; if they don't, that's a company issue that you can't just resolve by going higher up the ladder; you could issue a complaint with the works council about how the company is treating its staff and resolving serious staff complaints about management.
      If you don't feel comfortable doing something in service, don't participate in it; if you have a good restaurant manager, again, they can handle this if a manager big-mouths orders that directly contradict good service. The manager-in-charge is "in charge" as the name suggests, but doesn't get to change the rules or purposefully sabotage the orders. These are generally things that a franchise will take very seriously. After all, their brand is built on giving people the same thing over and over again, not on every random manager deciding what products will be made as instructed by that brand.
      I wouldn't go as far as to participate in something that's not exactly a criminal offense but isn't doing right by the customer, but then, after complying, tell the customer how we broke the rules. Standing up for yourself is good, but in this case, honesty would've needed to come in sooner as now all it does, is damage the credibility of the brand.
      Of course, this doesn't take away that these managers sound like they put the customer last and that's never a good thing. It's unfortunate that you had this experience; I guess there's quite some variance from country to country, district to district, in how BK stores are managed!

      Well, if your employer promised you a raise, and fails to keep it, then it may be time to look for another job-an employer who will appreciate your hard work. When I was ready to leave my first job, I continued to work until I landed a new one. Once I got a new job, I put in my two weeks and left on good terms.

I had to do 6 of the 12 jobs & sometimes the 1 job they manager had which was to count inventory in the freezer bcuz.....her fingers got cold. Finally , I walked out on them when they insisted (challenging me to a physical fight, told you they were ghetto, HEYYYYY🤣) when I refuse to do ALL 12 jobs @ closing.

      I'm a little older, and have worked in many different fields from retail, factory work, restaurant (fine dining), and fast food. FF was by far the worst. Least amount of pay and most stressful. I'd only recommend it unless it's your first job and you have no other options. I think some people who like it, probably have never worked in another industry and don't know their are much better jobs out there. Still, it's not an easy job ( I tend to get pissed at people who think it's simple work, many of them couldn't hack it I would guess) I have respect for people who can do it as a long term job.

      It's all depends on you... Somebody may like office work , while another may like construction etc.. Don't let someone stop your hustle or courage because they wanna "oh your a fast food manager😂" but yet come through at 3am wanting 20 items. Do whatever you wanna do in life, just remember whatever you do, do your absolute best !
