      And the backwoods McDonald's in the town I was working last summer refused to participate in the "Any Size Drinks for $1"promotion. The McDonald's at the Oasis on the Illinois Tollway does not participate in the "Dollar Menu" promotions.

      Remind me again how one franchised location's owner refusing to participate in a corporate national promotion is caused by $15/hr?

      Especially when those getting $8.25/hr in Illinois aren't participating.




      Also, I thought it was automated cashier/ordering machines that was killing the $15/hr job in Seattle. Can these people pick a narrative and stick with it?

        • My company apparently hates OT and has cut it, ****ing a whole bunch of people off. Corporate came through a couple weeks ago, and after that, the "be off the floor by X time" speeches from supervisors came.

          We have problems with retention, and this will not help.

          As for me, I'm not bereft of job options. I could try and get promoted, look elsewhere for work, or play the long game and go back to school.

            That happens all the time. Usually around contract negotiation time or when things are tight. Honestly, thems the breaks in the hourly world.

              Only with specific exceptions can I get OT without PO'ing my boss and her boss.

                When I first started at my company, same thing. Had a LOT of part-timers, so when full-timers hit 40 hours, you were done for the week. Nowadays, I don't think I've seen a straight 40 hour week (except for holiday weeks) in a few years. Almost no PTs, almost all FTs, also.

                      You guys know SB is hourly, not salary, yes? Of course salaried/non-exempt employees don't get OT.

                      Brent knows.

                        And I'm guessing that mookie and dx make quite a bit more than SB and I do.

                            Having worked for the feds for 32 years, OT for white collar employees was not liked. In the end, we ended up with comp time in lieu of OT.

                              Walmart announces a raise and credits the new tax law. Only thing is that they've been raising wages for each of the last few years in response to market forces and state level minimum wage hikes in many states - and needed to do it again this year anyways. They got credit from the Trump administration. The next day the company fired thousands of workers.

                              Hopefully all that grows the company 50%...so then it can make up for the reduction in its tax bill.
