Who in the hell - even McDonalds - would keep such a moron around? He's already going to cost the company a buttload of money, because that person will sue (or someone will sue for her) and MickyDees will settle out of court and all that BS, so McD is in the hole for more money that that idiot is ever going to make for them.
And, like most stupidity, it was totally uncalled for. As I read that stuff, including her quotes, in no way, shape, or form was she qualified to be a shift manager. In the first place, I'm pretty sure McDs doesn't have shift managers under 18 because of insurance reasons. Secondly, they don't have them because of something called child labor laws, anyone 17 is limited in the number of hours they can work, and McDs needs mgr. types basically on-call. And there is that deal called 'experience' and I know for a fact that shift mgrs. have to have line experience, they have to know every 'position' in the store, and if needed, step right in and do it. Even if you come in as a 'shift mgr.' from some other fast food type set up you'll have to do a couple of weeks on the line to learn the extra-stupid McDs way of doing things (its about as close to foolproof as anything in the world).
But he is a fool, and that's what fools do, they can mess up anything because they are so darn clever. All he had to say - and I thought everyone was pretty much trained to say this, I say it all the time - "We found someone whose qualifications and experience more closely matched what we were looking for." I dare - and so do the corporate lawyers - anybody to sue over that. It's specific, but vague - perhaps we were looking for someone with more or less experience? More or less qualifications? Either way. Good luck with that.
Come on, everyone. Sooner or later you might have to turn down someone for a job, and you say..."We found someone whose qualifications and experience more closely matched what we were looking for."
That's it. That's all. I'm sure it says that in the 'how to be a shift mgr' 3-ring binder they force them to study. "We found someone whose qualifications and experience more closely matched what we were looking for."
No, unable to screw up the fries because they automatically raise after the 'perfect' time or whatever - this guy screwed up the whole company.
Moral to the story: Don't be that guy.
just say: "We found someone whose qualifications and experience more closely matched what we were looking for."
