I literally can’t log in at all. It just stays on the loading page the whole time and it doesn’t show up on Harri/mystuff. Is this a widespread thing or just mine?

So I only recently got hired and I'm trying to do the mywelcome stuff before my welcome meeting but whenever I try to e-sign my employee number document it just says some fields invalid. Does anyone have any idea why or how to fix? Thanks

I have not worked at McDonald’s for a while since I went to college but I’m about to work at McDonald’s in 2 days. One thing I heard when the monopoly event goes on is that the customers are annoying about it.

I haven’t worked during the monopoly promotion, is this true? Should I expect customers to be annoying about it?

I worked drive thru alone for the first time last night and had three different customers tell me they were shocked when they pulled to window and I was a real human being. They keep thinking that my voice on the drive thru speakers is an AI. I told my coworkers and none of them had that experience 😭 Are any of you guys getting accused of being AI?

I don’t know if it’s just my store but I’m always the one having to change BIBs (the bags of soda syrup in boxes) because nobody knows how to open them. It’s getting frustrating because when I’m training new hires, I show them how to easily open them but after I’m not with them for 2-3 shifts, it’s like they magically forget.

I swear it’s a miracle my store lasted as long as it did before I came in…

Hell yeah

They let me handled drive thru on my second day during lunch time. The customers piled up quickly and I just went blank. I suddenly don’t know how to count the money and give them the change. Then the trainor says “don’t just stand there. Learn something or else we won’t give you shifts”. Power tripping on my 2nd day

For any managers out there do you have any tips on being a good manager and running shifts? I got pulled aside earlier today during my shift and they want me to start doing my modules for manager and be promoted to manager in a few weeks . I also have to get verified by my manager before I can be promoted. (I'm a little surprised though because I don't know kitchen that well, but I know front counter like super well. Also because I just got promoted to team lead last week) Also for any managers out there are you available anytime or no? My availability right now is only Monday-Saturday, but they want me to work Sunday's as well because according to them it's not "fair" to the other people.

Was recently offered the position of OTP Pro which is a salary position. It’s a 30% raise than what i’m making now as an IT Network Administrator.

I’d just like to ask about what your schedule looks like and how your work-life balance is.

I've known for a while about the mold in the ABS machines, and I clean it everyday, but I don't work everyday. They're supposed to take it apart every night, they evidently do not. I worked last sunday, and I was doing my routine of cleaning the Frappe machine by blending hot water into it. While it was rinsing comma I noticed a lot of what my manager calls "sugar", its white-brown gooey stuff, so I wiped it down, and then since I was already wiping it down, I was kind of toying around, feeling around the inside, and I started ripping black mold out of it. I was standing there for about 20 minutes, wiping and scraping black mold out of there, and I didn't even clean it all the way. That was one blender, no matter how much I wiped before I would still have a rag full of black mold when I go back in. Flash forward to yesterday, I'm sick at school with chest pains and almost every symptom of mold exposure. Today I didn't even go in, I stayed home because of how horrible it was. I work tomorrow and I'm tempted to not even put my two weeks in, I just want to not show up again.

I feel like I almost have a duty to the public, I've told pretty much everybody at my school not to have any Frappes. Tomorrow when I work, I want to wear a covid mask and get back in there cleaning as deep as I can. It's actually disgusting in there and I'm ashamed for working there in the first place.

Edit: i used voice typing for some of it and forgot to turn the word "comma" into an actual comma. Also some capitalization fixes.

So yesterday afternoon was supposed to be my scheduled phone interview for McDonald’s but the hour came and went and I received no call. Luckily I was able to reschedule for today but what if they don’t call me again? What should I do then?

So i've been working at my location for like a month (its also my first time every working at mc donalds or any fast foo place for that matter). i am also a full time university student and i have not had as much time for uni, going to classes, or uni work since starting this job, which i obviously dont like.

even though im new, i was wondering if its possible/ alright for me to message my GM about changing/ reducing my availabilities and just scheduling me for less hours too?

like i was wayyyyy in over my head when i gave my availabilities, and said that i was essentially available for like 68 hours per week/ across all 7 days but yeah this just isnt working for me anymore loll. like i get scheduled at inconvenient times that I actually dont like/ am not as okay with as i thought i would be (and yes ik that that is my own fault for saying that im available then but thats why i want to change it).

I made up a new availability schedule that makes me available for around 24-25 hours across 4 days.

They also schedule me for too many hours per week, and i dont even end up going to/ making it to a lot of my shifts cuz i have to call in anyways, so if the GM says yes to changing my availability can I also ask to reduce the amount of hours that I'm actually scheduled for too?

- like for the week of oct 12-18, i was schedules for 12 hours (and that is with having 4 days off that week - 3 days not scheduled and calling 1 day off, otherwise it would have been 20 hours)

- for the week of oct 19-25, i was literally scheduled for 29 hours initially (with 2 days off, then i called and said i couldnt make it to 2 more days, reduing my scheduled hours to around 14)

- this week, i have 3 days off and am also scheduled for 20 hours.

like the hours are just too much too. would it be okay/ possible for me to ask if my weekly hours could be reduced to like 10-15 ish and i guess quit if they say no to this change, cuz it's really impacting my school and school work and I cant work like 30 hours as a ft student.

Thank youu!

already exhausted, everything happened so quick, but i got my first injury, water all over my hand, after working at mcdonalds only for one month. the managers were kind about it and supported me, even offering to let me go home, however i refused because the pain was manageable... until

once shift ended, i went home and i felt burning sensations so much. i decided to go to doctor, even running water wasnt helping much. doctor wrapped my hand up, prescribe cream, the usual, and he ALSO inform me about the WSIB form.

he told me to take it to management and take 3-5 days off work. i went to mcd and gave it to the big boss who was already really kind to me, and i feel really bad about it, because he seemed kind of confused, that i went to doctor and got form, and said he will file a report,

i feel really guilty and idk what to do. i dont want them to hate me. i feel bad i am taking 3 days off already and i only started a month ago WHILE knowing i need my hand to recover. :(((

js feels like im in a spiral of shame and cant get out. any advice friends...

We're going to do our soft sell so I decided to give it a try. Pretty good tbh. I'll probably try the Sprite version on my next shift.

Anyone else using the commitment grant to go to college? CTU?

So far doing pretty good. Getting good grades *first class is easy, its an introductory course.

I have some trouble navigating the financial aid aspect. I know a LOC (Letter of Credit) is due before every course.

How do I initiate that?

Also, if you are going to school on the grant, Congratulations!

Do they do something like this in other countries *that don't have free or reduced college/universities?

Got sort of given out to by the business manager today. I've been here over 3 months. When I came
back from my break there was the same guy I was with in the kitchen before, and the bm himself, in the kitchen. I went straight to put back on my apron because they were 1 pending. He came and told me that when I come back from my break I need to ask the shift manager where they want me in case they need my help. Never once have I been told that, nor have I ever heard anyone else asking. I can see the sense in it but it just pissed me off a little bit.

My favourite manager also left. His last shift was yesterday. I'm a very quiet and shy person, but he was always just so nice to me. I was terrified of him for such a long time, and now I wish I wasn't because I miss him already. He does later shifts and I usually do closing so it was rare that he wasn't there during my shifts, and it always felt alien when he wasn't. Now that's forever.

Also my coworker that I lowk have a crush on definitely hates me. It's usually him and I in the kitchen but today he was doing service. He came into the kitchen with a cheeseburger that had no cheese on it. I had just come back from dropping chicken, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't me, but either way he thinks it was. I hate when we're not in the kitchen together. Usually we are for at least a short while, but today my shift finished earlyish so I didn't get to.

Anyway if you can't already tell, today was one of those days where I come home and apply for other jobs lol.

Just got hired and i have orientation tomorrow. I badly need money but I am also a full time college student, a film student which they know about btw! But yeah just want some tips. I dont have classes on thurs or friday which is when I told them i could work along with weekends so after my classes end on Monday and Wednesday, 4:15 that's when i would have time to study and stuff. Honestly Ive told myself if it gets to be too much, Ill quit because my degree comes first, but still want to give it a fighting chance. Let me know how yall balance it and thanks! I primarily told them I'd want to be front of house btw.

As the title says, I had an interview with Mcdonald's last week. It was super short basically asked why I wanted to work for the company, my availability and uniform sizes... I've heard nothing back, not even a rejection email. Should I expect a reply or is it clear I haven't got the job?

Trying to find those forever pls help

So today I was short staffed and almost everyone clocked out cuz their shift has ended so it was just me and a kitchen person, I was taking orders, back cash and window/running. So this lady pulls up to the speaker I take her order and told her “ pull up to that 1st window pls” while I’m up front bagging the orders, she went ahead and skipped the 1st window and pulled to the 2nd, I go back to cash her order just to realize she did not stop at the window I asked her to, I yelled excuse me 4 times she had her window down and all she just ignored me, I got so irritated I couldn’t control myself I yelled at her and told her to go back around, she went and pulled back to the first window I cashed her and asked her to pull to the 2nd, I handed her the order and all and I felt real bad that I had to yell at her, idk if she heard me and just chose to ignore or not cuz she was in her phone. I hope to see her again and apologize fr.

Hi everyone! I’m a new hire and I have my first training shift in a few days. I’ve just completed my onboarding, but I’ve now received a message saying I’m scheduled for a shift on the 12th, which is almost two weeks away.
I’m a bit confused because surely I should have shifts before then? I was under the impression that I’m guaranteed a minimum of 4 hours a week, so how would that work if my first scheduled shift is that far away? I desperately need the money and can’t afford to go nearly two weeks without any shifts 😭
Has anyone experienced this before? Is it possible I’ve missed the rota for the next couple of weeks, or is this normal for new starters? And how should I communicate this to my manager without coming across as pushy? I’m happy to work whenever they need me, I just really need the hours 😭

Edit : Nevermind my manager is the sweetest and she’s agreed to manually add me on the schedule as I missed the shift rotation! Phew 😅

I never have to go to that building again. Oh thank god. Got told “Can you do anything right???” as my last customer. No ma’am. bye!

So I was hired around 3 weeks ago and after calling the restaurant they have scheduled me to work 10-6pm on Halloween then 4-11pm the next day

I’m just abit confused as to why I have been scheduled these shifts as a new hire, surely an 8 hour Halloween shift on my first shift isn’t the best idea..

When I called, They said they didn’t know my availability although I gave them it twice, and also I said I’d prefer not to work late on Sundays as im at Uni 8am - 6pm on a Monday lol.

Surely this isn’t normal? Or am I just clueless
