Spotted the person who's never been a retail/fast food wage slave. You don't get 40 hours. At best you'll get 34 or whatever makes it so you aren't classified as full time. And that's a good week. If corporate is trying to save hours, you might get 8 or 10 that week. You'll need a second job, obviously, but given that there's no set schedule, you'll spend even more time trying to coordinate the two.
- themaninthedark 2y agoI have, worked as a cashier for a couple years. I know they never let you get to 40 hours, if you do then they have to start offering benefits. However, that wasn't part of the exercise. Grandparent stated that: > McDonald's for 40 hours puts you well above poverty line I decided to run the numbers rather than go with gut feeling of no way. Figured I would share since I did the work. Grandparent was only haft right since they also state you would need a crazy amount of dependents to put you at Federal Poverty Level. If you had 2 dependents, you are above but living hand to mouth and one accident away from povert.
- silverquiet 2y agoThat’s a fair point about it merely mirroring the grandparent’s exercise, and looking back on it my post had an unnecessarily antagonistic start. But I do believe it’s worth telling people that crappy jobs are crappy for reasons besides pure hourly pay; they have other features that are both demeaning and austere.
