    Love how the breakdown of monthly expenses that McDonald’s provided includes “Heating: $0”

    Warmth really is a luxury when you think about it though…right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    They were basically saying it’s perfectly normal to work 70-hour weeks and still hardly be able to cover their made-up costs of living (actual costs are much higher in my area, and presumably in most others as well). Guess you should have gone to college/less avocado toast/whatever. But that’s just business! Don’t hate the player, hate the game! Blah blah blah (งツ)ว

        That is because McDonald’s offers employee health insurance for only $10/pay period… They do offer that insurance, right?

        If it is not clear, I very much doubt that they offer such cheap health insurance (and that is assuming that they don’t have a policy in place that forbids workers from being scheduled for more than 29 hours per week per franchise so they can be classified as “part time” at each location and not offered health benefits).

      The heating thing is easily explainable by it being included in the electric bill in this scenario. I don’t know why people go after something like that when the actual egregious thing is them telling people to get a 2nd job instead of paying them more.

        My gas furnace would like to argue otherwise

        And why itemize it if it’s included in another bill?
