Reply to comment by presidentreptarr in McDonalds workers take in more than 50 people during storm by citytiger

Oh, there will be PR a plenty.

The store will be reprimanded though, I can assure you.

Especially if they were told by their management to close. If the AGM called and said close the store, and they instead kept it open against a direct order to close it, someone just may lose their job.

Double especially if any of the food was served.

You sure seem to be very confident about something you have no idea about. It's cute.

Work for corporate america, what he's saying isn't 100% of the time, but the odds are more than 50%. Higher if they didn't charge for the coffee and food.

Sorry, working for McDonalds tends to skew your view of corporate America.

I did five months, my wife was upper management for six years. She was fired because she didn’t go to work after ex landed her in the hospital after beating her senseless.

The person who fired her was her BiL.

So, again, tell me how awesome corporate America is?

Yea that doesn't sound like the fault of corporate America in this case. She was fired illegally. This sounds like a family member abusing their power over personal issues.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's illegal to fire someone for missing work because they were hospitalized?

Not in an at will employment state.

Yes, including in one of the 49 at will employment states.

As long as the company is of a certain size, fmla is a federal requirement. I think last time I checked McDonald's had more than 50 employees or whatever the small number is that requires fmla.

To be fair I do question why they weren’t sent home earlier, this storm wasn’t a big surprise. I would probably question that part.

But I’m glad they turned it into a humanitarian positive and something good came out of it.

Hoping that corporate doesn’t get too wild about it.
