63. Finally! Useful advice!

Fri Dec 6, 2013, 06:59 PM

Dec 2013

Since McD's employees are more likely to be au pairs, dog walkers and pool cleaners than to employ them, they now know what to expect in three weeks.

This is the company who told paycheck-to-paycheck workers to take two vacations a year and save $100 a month. We know they have no idea what they're dealing with."There's no bread? Let them eat cake!" There's no evidence anyone in the French monarchy said that and concrete evidence at least four people at McD hq say it regularly.
