McDonalds: "What, my peon, you don't work two full time jobs?"

[Ideologue]

I suspect the amount will be as little as they can get away with...?

Congratulations, I think that might sum up their approach ie they've got agreed contract income coming in regularly, so they just have to cut down all costs to make more money. 

So guess what the salary was ?

Probably more than I think, which will just underline the hilarious differences between America and Europe yet again.  So I'm guessing the equivalent of $60k.

Try Minimum Wage, which is $19,700.

Two possibilities then:

1. The job is not nearly as difficult as you say, or
2. They are never going to find anyone competent, and will have to raise the salary. A lot.

Assuming this is in the US, of course.

3. They'll staff it using temp labor or automate it.

Keep on Boomin'.

The issue is not work (since we are already talking about people who are working) or feeling sorry, but that people can survive on their wages.  If people go hungry they do bad things like unionize.  McDonalds doesn't feel like paying that much, so expects the public to pick up the rest.  Management who who expect the public do pick up the tab with tips are doing the same thing.

McDonalds pays the market rate, which is heavily influenced by part time teenagers who typcially don't pay rent, food, or utilities.

Would you be happier if McDonald's refused to hire anyone over 21, or anyone with dependent children?

If you work full time as a baby sitter, will you be able to raise 3 kids and own two cars?

Try Minimum Wage, which is $19,700.

But yes, that is surprising.

You do mean USD right?  Because if that's actually pounds then it goes to hilarious differences, etc.

Remember this is a pay scale people on here are talking about with regard to people flipping burgers.

It's largely (b), I think they've had a couple of other people recently churn through one of those roles.
I'm not sure how long it'll take them to realise that, maybe they're happy conducting interviews every 3-4 months.  Having the purchasing manager take 3 days out each time to interview everyone ?

I already converted it to USD at 1.61.

Fair enough.

If so, then so be it.

Although it doesn't strike me as the kind of job that can really be automated, or rather, likely is already automated as much as is possible. The "job" here, from what was described, is dealing with the situations that the automation doesn't cover.

But why do you say that like it is some kind of revelation? Your option 3 is not another option, it is just option 1 or option 2 restated.

Obviously, wage stagnation or depression is nothing to concern myself about.

They pay market rate? 

[Admiral Yi]

No, they don't.  They pay above it.

No answer i give you is going to satisfy you, so if you've got a point, why don't you just go ahead and get to it.
