The McDonalds Thread Mk II

I was paid for the welcoming meeting, but the rate is 6.20 which is definitely incorrect.

Regular 6.83 6.2000 42.35
Evening 6.30 6.2000 39.06
Welcome Meeting 1.00 6.2000 6.20

Ah right, gotcha. It's either a mistake or you're very lucky to work somewhere that doesn't discriminate based on age haha. I'd keep the extra money to one side in case they do ask for it back, although I'm not sure if they'd legally be able to force you to... Either way, I wouldn't complain if I were you :P

That is what i was going to do, just keep the money aside and see if they have noticed, but I will see what happens in two weeks with the next payslip ^.^

Actually if they've hired you as Customer Care that would be correct.

What does the rate on your contract say?

I am a crew memeber.

£4.40

Fairy nuff...

You might want to ask your manager though simply to avoid nasty surprises.

I haven't introduced myself on this thread. I'm a Crew Trainer, and i've worked at Maccie's for 2 years full-time and nearly a year part-time.

Its nice to meet another Crew Trainer Does your store managers also decide to pass off some of their responsibilities onto the Crew Trainers and more senior crew members as well?

All the time, to the point where instead of getting a manager from another store to cover a manager meeting, they just get the crew trainers to run shift and hope nobody needs change or calls the store (or threatens to bomb the place.)

Also, any less than 3 SOC's a week and you're dead lol.

Lovely to meet you too. . Are you eyeing management or are you just liking the role you're in?

Oh and hello, SortYourLife.

Yeah our managers just tend to stay in the office so the crew trainers tend to actually run the shifts and sort out everyone's breaks too, also I've personally been put in charge of a team of 8 crew members to make sure they have all their 4 stars as soon as possible as well as looking after the blended ice syrup yield and the HVAC too, all the other teams have a manager to run them however for mine I'm the most experienced member of staff Also I'm not sure what your store used to be like when you first started but it actually took me almost the 2 years to get my 4 stars whereas there is a crew member who has been here less than a month but has all 4 stars already!! I suppose they're doing it to look good on the FRO we have coming up at the end of next month. Also I would be eyeing management but I'm transferring to a store closer to my university in a few weeks so they won't consider me on that basis but I'm hoping to be a manager while I'm at university, how about you?

Yeah that's basically like us. I have the dreaded flurry topping yield.

The store is rife with favoritism so if you're one of the budding hopefuls that the assistant managers take a shining to, expect them to have 4 stars and a crew trainer book in their hand in a matter of months, regardless of whether they're suitable for it. One lad consistently came in late, no-showed and got drunk before shifts, but because he's the salaried managers best friend, he's now a crew trainer. Meanwhile, there are some lovely, hard-working part-time lads who they won't ever get given a chance away from kitchen, and vice-versa, so they can't get all their stars. Rotation is terrible.

I'm not the most experienced crew trainer and there are people who've been in the same role for 4 or 5 years because for some reason our group is very reluctant to promote anyone (quite a lot of the trainee shift managers have either handed their notice in or dropped the course, and one girl was on the management course 4 times before leaving). In the three years I have been there I have seen two people promoted to shift manager. True story. Because of this we've had lots and lots of transfers to the point where every new manager seems to just get chucked in our store. It's a big problem and it's not looking very good on the store or the group for that matter, so no, right now i'm not eyeing management.

It does sound like i'm bad mouthing but it's not all bad. There's just a lot i'd like to change.

I like giving crew trainers stuff to do! The other night I let a couple of them count the safe for me, BM is keen to have crew trainers knowing that stuff, means less to teach them if they get promoted. When I was in charge of food cost too, I gave them all yields, crew trainers and crew seemed to put more work into it than other managers did.. Now I'm in charge of training so I get to abuse them more now
