Is working at McDs something you would do?

bathgatebuyer

Does he ever thing he's going to get a job with a stinking great gap on his CV? What happens if he ever gets of his lazy behind and attends an interview and is asked, "What did you do during that time?" A job is a job. Who's to say that working in McDonalds is more or less noble than being Chief Exec of some bank that makes a fortune charging us bank charges?

Sounds like his mother needs to give him a kick up the backside - to just not bother is shameful. He's nothing but a no good leech and yet he thinks he's worth more than those folk that get up at 5 am to do an early in McDs while the rest of us are still sleeping?

What a complete loser! (Apologies for being strong about that but he needs a slap!)

Ok unpopular post coming up.

I'm a snob, I freely admit it, I've never even thought of applying to someplace like mcd's. I don't think bad of anyone who does work there, I bet there are people whod turn their noses up at my job but I could never work there. I was fairly desperate for a job while I was at uni, internacionale was the lowest I sunk (fairly high on the treat our staff like crap scale) and even when I was unemployed for 6 weeks it neve even crossed my mind
.
These days I can't even stomach the smell of their 'food' never mind eat or work with it all day.

She's been grassed up loads of times about the hairdressing, she was boasting to me about it! But they can't/won't do anything unless they catch her doing it and actually receiving payment .

Keep reporting it - I unashamadely did similar to someon who was working 50 hrs a week while claiming to be an unemployed single Mum (she never even had a child!) so she got Housing Benefit to put her in a £250K flat, moved her good for nothing boyfriend in with her, meanwhile getting milk tokens and benefits to support her and her non-existent kid. Meanwhile muggins here was getting up at 5.30 am each day to commute 140 miles round trip by bus just to make ends make.

Not ashamed to grass them up at all - it helps keep the money for folk who genuinely need it, not those selfish idiots.

I started work at 13 in the paper shop my Mum worked in Done all sorts since, cleaning, reception, cooking, factory, care work.... Miraculously managed to get through university only doing holiday work, and now working part time as well as finishing a PhD.

When the PhD's finished, I'll be looking for something relevant to what I've been studying, that's close to home. Until then, I'll be carrying on with the part time job, and maybe even taking another part time one too.

I spent part of my childhood with my mum on income support (she was very young and on her own, and went to work as soon as we were in high school), and wouldn't wish that on anyone - least of all myself!

I have been reading this thread with interest, my son (16) wanted a part time job while he is at college, put out 100's of cv's with no response except BK well, they offer better wages than most other companies for his age, flexible hours so if he has something at the weekend they will change his shift to accomodate him! He was a bit embarassed about the job but we have always taught him you work for what you want, (i clean hotel rooms, it suits me so that I am at home for my kids) Anyway he told one of his mates who was having the same problems getting a job and now its snowballed and half his team work in the BKs in this area. They always promote from within and although he doesn't see it as a career he appreciates it that they employed him at more than the £3.30 an hr that most were offering and he works the 12 hrs a week that college advise. many of his friends work in Mcd's for the same reasons.

I would work there if I needed a job - no problem. but I would do almost any job that meant I didn't have to claim benefits. I don't understand why his mum doesn't want him to do it, does she just want him to spend his life on benefits too? I hope when my DS is 18 he'll be looking for a job and/or studying. if he came in with that attitude about a job not being good enough for him I'm afraid he'd hear words that don't usually come out of mummy's mouth!

bathgatebuyer what happened to the woman? She does keep getting reported but unfortunately so far it's done no good at all :mad:.

skint_spice she wants him to have a job (or so she tells me) just not one in a fast food place . But he has had decent paying jobs in offices and been allowed to just quit, my dad would've dragged me out of bed and MADE me go to work that's the way I've been brought up and I'm glad of it too.

I've got a book - the hundred worst jobs. That one is probably the worst.

Go to the animal.
Manually manipulate the animal.
For a while.
Then hot fresh genetic material shoots out of the animal and hopefully into the jar you're holding.

Lovely jubley...
