(USA) (Anywhere on Earth with a McDonald's, really) To all hiring managers of r/McDonaldsEmployees: If a job applicant asks during an interview "Will McDonald's be just as miserable to work at like how (name of another fast food establishment) was?," How would you respond to that?

Discussion

Will you bother to explain how their work experience will be different at your workplace?

Or will you say "Yes, so I'm afraid you may not be a fit for any fast-food establishments?"

Right, if you go into something with a bad attitude or expecting it to be horrible then it's most likely going to be.

Exactly. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

I would ask the same, but it also seems like a red flag tbh. Nothing wr hate more than hiring someone, training them, and them leaving after a month lol.

I'm the same. No amount of money is going to convince me to allow people to abuse me just because I'm at work

I left because of the insanity of never having enough people and way too much to do. GM+ pushed me too hard and I said fuck it I'm done. I'm here to learn better business management skills for my own business and get paid for it and this shit is out of hand. So honestly as a person who owns businesses I was tired of getting fucked around by crew not showing up, not enough aces, to push fast enough, the general vibe went from casual shit happens when it does to full McNavy and I was not gonna deal with that so I left. Plus that much effort for something I don't own is stupid.

Just say "Guess you'll never know" and end the interview.

This is what I’d like to say if I hadn’t gotten my filters in place.
