On Wednesday, McDonald's announced that starting this July, it will increase wages for the 90,000 workers who are directly employed by one of the company's restaurants. The plan is to bring the current hourly wage up by $1; the average McDonald's employee will make $9.90 by July and $10 by 2016. Benefits like paid vacation time will be available for employees who have worked for the company for more than a year.

The raise, however, only applies to employees of the actual restaurant. The 750,000 workers employed by franchises, which make up 90 percent of McDonald's restaurants, are not included in this wage hike.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Good. McDonald's has already shown a willingness to automate.

A job is better than no job at all, even if your pay is shitty.

I'm not familiar with how franchising works. Is it always the responsibility of the franchise owners to set raises, or corporate?

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
McDonald's is a fucking awful company to work for speaking as an ex employee, so I'm not surprised.

McDonalds is an awful company, this is known. However, nobody should expect a job that requires absolutely zero qualifications to pay well. For such a job minimum wage is acceptable, above that is honourable.

I know people who work there and though I feel sympathetic towards some of the things they have to put up with, many of them are entitled little shits.

idk what to say about mcdonalds, but the picture you added got me thinking, and if youre using that to make a funny little quip about slave labor its not entirely accurate (though i did get a chuckle out of it)

obviously the pyramids were built over a long period of time and, as such, the methodology was bound to change over time, but something ive recently stumbled across is the fact that pyramid builders werent slaves (on the whole.) instead, they were mostly skilled laborers, organized into teams (with funny names like the Drunkards of Mekaure) and employed on a rotating basis. the evidence shows that these laborers were compensated well, eating great prime beef and sleeping in special "dorms."

some cool reading can be found here:

So, what you are telling me is that ancient Egyptian slaves pyramid laborers had better wage and extras than a McDonalds job?

Good. Raising wages will put people out of work.
