Unemployment for the masses ended ages ago, and doesn’t last very long even if you do get it, I agree tho that during covid they gave too much away, but at this point im kinda curious just what all these people are living on… maybe a mix of various benefits from various agencies… god what a c**p way to live

It's minimum wage where I live!

Precisely. People dunking on businesses complaining about workers not wanting to work but workers complaining about having to work. It's two sides of the same coin, and there's less love for businesses because weirdos think that people who run businesses are billionaires cuz they've never run a business.

A few people sure, but the entire morning staff that averages 10 people is a sign the manager is hiding the actual reason. He said they came in later meaning he either f****d up with the scheduling and didn't add anybody for the 4 am. Or tried to stiff them on their checks. Either way the manager made the mistake and is trying to lie.

Tell me you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about without telling me. McDonalds might be $15 where YOU live, but not everywhere else. You're too far right to understand that not everything is about keeping benefits. Remove your head from your rear end, and try again.

Applying for a job is different than accepting it. If they accept and don't show up they lose the unemployment. Also, it only lasts for 6 months. They can't collect again unless they've been employed again for a period of time. The employee has to technically build up work credits.There is also a restriction of amt available to collect within a time frame.

1. UE benefits are temporary unless you go through the process of appealing for an extension. 2. UE benefits are only a fraction of what you previously made when you were employed. In my state, it caps at a max of $500/week. 3. Not all McD branches are paying that amount--I just saw a job ad posted on the window of a nearby location. 4. With rent, food, and gas prices right now, $15/hr still isn't enough.

If you're expected to be at work at 4am, unless you sleep in your uniform and live next door, I think it's a fair assumption that you will have to be getting up earlier, no?

Bootlickers like you are what enable corporations to take advantage of workers. Why you cheer on the abuse of labor is beyond me. You should be ashamed.

Had to be about politics. A Leftist-leaning political slant/bias (since you started this mess) must be nice). Or? Are we going to, next bring up that McDonald's should pay it's workers a "living wage" of $30 dollars an hour which, of course, wouldn't have any effect on the prices that McDonalds charges, or the number of sites that they keep open

Every state except Montana are at-will employment states, which means employees can be fired for any legal reason (not for things like gender, religion, refusing to break the law, retaliation, etc) or for no reason. There is no law that requires employees to discipline employees before firing. Having a contract protects employees from at-will practices. Some states have some laws that offer some protection under certain circumstances, but for the most part, employees can be fired at any time and there's nothing they can do about it.

From what I've heard it depends on the state. I think it was right to work states that are basically "can be fired for no reason." I can't say for certain but I suspect a lot of the procedures companies have on what is needed to fire people isn't created by the company, it's just the law. If it wasn't they wouldn't have the procedures.

Oops didn't finish! Nit every company follows these standards but most do. Keep in mind we are not talking about behavior that calls for immediate termination like having weapons or physical violence against coworkers or customers!

I don't know where you live but in my pocbut in my part of the United States you absolutely can be fired at any moment with no cause. And it's like that in many States.

Pretty much all employment in the US is at will. I'm a manager who knows the employment rules. This has always been the environment for decades, has nothing to do with the president. Salaried/management levels are different, it has to be documented in personal files as a CYA for company. Usually, they do layoffs as to not not doing the effort to keep the record. The dumb person is you, with your arrogance, thinking your superior to the others on this chain.

Yeah the state I live in is an at will employment state. They can fire you for any reason or no reason at all if they want to.
