Uncovering an industry's lies: Fast food offers few ways to get ahead











Press a fast food chain to pay better wages, and you'll hear some



version of this: "The restaurant industry is a launching pad" or



"[E]mployees who want to go from crew to management can take advantage



of a variety of training and other professional development



opportunities." ....







Ahh. Amerika...land of opportunity...for the rich to feed off the poor..





You miss-spelled 'America' Harry.



A High school classmate of mine, started working at Long John Silvers while in High school, then went to be the manager, then DM. He quite LJS and went to work as an innkeeper for a large Holiday Inn in the upper Quad cities. Then perused a couple other ventures. Now he's a CEO of a computer securities company which is a contractor to the US gov't. BTW, the gov't has renewed his companies contract every two years for the last 10. Not bad for a kid who started out broiling fish...



Yep, all in the 'land of opportunity'







I'm sorry the fast food article went over your head. It had nothing to

do with working at a fast food joint and then finding other jobs in

other places. It had to do with the promises made to naive workers by

fast food restaurants, promises that they someday might rise to a

position of significance in the chain and maybe even own a franchise

restaurant. That's bull****. You aren't going to amass a million dollars

working for minimum wage or even double minimum wage.

I'm sorry that you feel that anyone who works at fast food is a slave who is trapped because they supposedly have been promised the world.
