Robert Oak — McDonald's Tells Employees To Make Rent Go Without Heat

Surreal.

Wow, employers are really out there trying to help their employees! Just yesterday Walmart was busy asking for charity to feed their employees. Now McDonalds is telling workers to live in unheated homes in order to pay their bills.

Gets worse than that folks. McDonalds also told employees to return their Christmas gifts for extra cash. Sell your gifts on eBay! The website low pay is not ok has been tracking the absurdities and made the below video.

MacDonald's Is The Future?

McDonald’s Corp. (MCD), the world’s biggest restaurant chain, said it hired 24 percent more people than planned during an employment event this month.

McDonald’s and its franchisees hired 62,000 people in the U.S. after receiving more than one million applications, the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company said today in an e-mailed statement. Previously, it said it planned to hire 50,000.

Most of these are minimum wage jobs. Fancy that, over a million applications for a minimum wage job. Signs of desperation?
