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." Those statements, from the New York Restaurant
Association and McDonald's, sum up the argument: Fast food workers may
be making poverty wages now, but they could become managers! Owners! The
possibilities are limitless, so really there's no point in paying people
a living wage! Of course, it's not really true.

I spent a lot of time around fast food (Wendy's, Burger King and
Arbys)
I doubt anyone working there actually thinks they are doing it to get
rich.
You have 2 basic employees, young kids who are just making some money
while they are looking for another job and retired people who just
like being out of the house and are limited by SS about how much money
they can make (without paying taxes on the SS).
The average turnover rate is somewhere around 250% yet you have
employees who have been there for a decade.
People who have stayed around do get raises and they used to get
insurance (not sure now I have been away from it)

I don't get it but there are people who actually like that work.

OTOH if you get into the support end of the business you can make
pretty good money. (district managers, Maintenance directors and IT
people)

Apparently you and others here entirely missed the point of the article.
No surprise, eh?

You don't expect normal people to make sense of your brainwashrd
muttering, do you?
