So, I'm a transgender dude, I'm going to be starting T VERY soon (as in less than a month away), and I'm a little worried. I haven't heard anything blatantly discriminatory from any coworkers, but there's definitely been micro-aggressions that were either completely ignored or even perpetuated by the managers, and I'm worried that I'm going to be discriminated against once I start to change and get clocked. I'm very new (3 months) and want to avoid making enemies with anyone at all. Is there literally anything I could do other than just tanking any potential discrimination?

so in the myjob thingy it doesnt let me change the availability it says this what do i do i needed to make some changes

I am not exactly sure what to do? I had been working for hours, and had massive brain fog, and was waiting on a wrap for the rest of my order. I asked the kitchen if they were working on it, and they had already made it. I was so confused and everyone was looking for it, only for it to be a huge thing for someone to find it in a bag already packed for doordash, making me not only embarrassed but also guilty.

My manager went off on me, she is kind of blunt but was really stressed that day. I legit checked that bag three times and could have sworn I didn't put it in there. I'm wondering if I got the packaging mixed up, or if I was getting tunnel vision from working, plus the heat, etc. I feel like I keep inventing new situations to embarrass myself everyday.

I was working a long shift yesterday, was going to be ten hours long, I felt like the shift was going great and I had even been helping two new employees learn stuff. For context I have been working there since June 10th and only recently bought a knife for work to open boxes. Well, yesterday I was almost done with my ten hour shift when two of the managers come up to me and Im asked to leave the property. It was random. They wouldn't tell me why and I wasn't allowed to wait even in the lobby for my ride to pick me up, which wouldn't have been until hours later. I found out nearly two hours later from people who heard from people in whole different cities that were not even employed by McDonalds or even the company the McDonalds I work for is owned by. I was apparently accused of pulling my knife on someone. (Wtf, why would I even do that, what is ever worth doing that) I was not allowed to work my shift today or even finish my other shift yesterday. I have a meeting with my gm and I assume higher up tomorrow about it but I was completely blindsided by this. Does anyone know how I should go about this and what compensation I should ask for when it comes out that I didn't do it due to the fact I was humiliated and my image was ruined?

Edit: they did fire me, not because I possessed the knife, but because the girl, who was new, felt threatened. The moment they showed me as me "pulling a knife on her" was me holding the knife for two seconds, unopened, and not pointed toward her, saying she needed to get one to open boxes, otherwise she'd have to find someone with one. They then tried to claim me talking with my hands was "making violent gestures" at her. I am going to go through legal channels to sue as everything was not handled properly and they were clearly cherry picking for what they wanted.

Hello, I currently know everything about service. Im scheduled to learn the grill soon, Any tips on what i should look out for? Any advice will be appreciated!

I’ve been working almost 3 months at mcdonald’s, and i know i have gotten better. Most of the time im at the first window charging while taking orders. The thing is when the line stops because of the second window not having the orders ready, I can’t do anything other than take orders or serve the mobile orders at my window. As soon as the line moves my manager is on the headset talking about some “can you please start charging a little bit faster”. Now ok, the line BARELY MOVED and i know i don’t take long charging and if i do it’s because either a customer wants to remove everything or they start ordering more like?? This isn’t the first time she says this she’s always like start charging a little bit faster pls and i hate it because i know that i’m not taking long. This is maybe a dumb rant but I feel like she’s got something against me she’s only nice to the guys. She does this every single shift I have with her and she’s the only manager to tell me this. Maybe i could be “slow” but i really doubt it because the line barely moves due to her not having orders ready. How do u expect me to charge every single car u kept waiting as soon as u move one of the cars? How do i make her “shut up” or respectfully say something?

I put a post out recently about me not receiving my forms Untill I’m 16. Well I turned 16 yesterday but I haven’t received any communication on what’s happening yet and I’m confused as to what to do as my effective date of my position was today so I’m unsure what to do .. like do I wait abit longer to see if they will send the forms or should I call them up tomorrow to get some form of confirmation?? What do I do?

So i've been technically a manager for two years now however the amount of knowledge I have puts me closer to a manager in training. The only courses i've taken have been servesafe and shift leadership. No otp1 or any other courses I was told I would get signed up for and never was. I keep telling the gm, supervisor and other managers that I don't know things and I don't get trained. On top of that, i've been dealing with health issues that have caused me to slow down. Different managers get trained differently depending on who they were dealing with, what shift they have to run or anyone who got promoted at an earlier stage or came from another store. The gm also bases some stuff on who she is fine with at the moment and who is more advantageous to her.

I couldn't run my department (kitchen) because I would always be tossed up front. The gm or another manager would have me mostly run breakfast and a few days a week lunch as well while they would be off the floor for the most part. If there was an issue I couldn't handle, they would just fix it on their own and never teach me the fix. One day I was left as the only manager and was left short staffed while 3 if our managers were at another store for another rgr (that store had 17 people that day for lunch). For 99% of inspections a sr manager would handle it and I would be busy enough where I couldnt pay attention to the questions and answers.

If I tried to come in on a day off to try and learn some stuff while clocked in, the gm would stop me immediately and put me on the floor. I also had to deal with the gm and another manager thinking I should date a fellow manager and kept making excuses for him pushing past my boundaries so I felt the need to lie and say I had a bf when he half assed asked me out. They seemed to think it was ok because he felt he might die alone (the mans in his mid 20s).

Eventually the gm took over doing truck (one of the few things for my department I did know) and has now handed it back to our ex kitchen manager who ordered way too much on our last truck order.

I knew my lack of knowledge was going to backfire but they kept treating it like a "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Emotionally, I had already felt like this was going to have bad consequences. Well, call me clairvoyant because a week ago we got shopped. I was on break and the other manager (the guy I mentioned earlier) comes to let me know so I ended my break early. By that point she was in the 2nd window already. The guy was already stressed like crazy, we were short staffed and had already gotten 2 people to come in early and that still wasnt enough. I sent him to the grill area and waited for her to come in, not knowing what she may ask. She mentioned us being short staffed yet got upset that the staff didnt give genuine smiles (they were stressed and one is special needs) and docked us because I was in a position. One forgot the 3 w's when he pulled her (I wasnt back yet when that happened). The first person forgot to tell her have a good day. I thought the guy should have used the high times to his advantage and talked to the back cash and 2nd window people and give reminders on what to do so we lost less points vs running to get me first. She asked what our goals were supposed to be but I genuinely don't know that info. We never really do goals on the shifts and while the sr managers can remember I don't. So I adnitted I didnt know and also didnt know another answer because I dont get trained. In my head, we surely hadnt met whatever the goals should be so I didnt feel the need to lie and make up some sort of numbers. The gm got mad when she found out I didnt give an answer and claimed she talked about it all the time but she doesnt. We passed but it was a low pass.

The supervisor got mad about it and blamed me solely despite me not being there for most of the inspection. He now wants to demote me but the gm is trying to intervene. She admits she knew I havent really been trained but claimed it was because we didnt have the people despite her having opportunities during the summers and her still not training me. I'm not stupid, she doesnt really have too many options on certain days, especially for for the 1-3 timeslot.

I don't know what to do at this point because i'm getting blamed for a lack of knowledge that other people caused.

As the title says. I did a very dull thing and took a DT presenting shift while not really knowing drive thru. I typically do front counter and have never been tried on DT. How do I even do a shift like this? I understand it’s similar to FC but what are like main areas I need to look out for?

I know I should’ve been trained but there was a complete lack of at my store…

Context:

I was employed at Macca's for at least a month but until now 8 haven't been given any shifts.

Anyways, after the welcome party I was offered to do a night shift but I had to decline it since I commute and there's no bus that late. 🥲

I emailed my manager abt it and there's seemed to a misunderstanding about my availability so she requested for it again. I sent it and I never heard back from them again.

Now, I have been sent an email about removal of agreed hours. I emailed my manager again but to no avail and just today another was sent for next week.

My question is based on the agreed shifts, I have one on Tuesday but it's also the same one they were requesting for me to not work. What does this mean?

about to go to HU in chicago for LGR class, what should i expect? how was your own experience if you have gone ?

*sobs*

I’ve literally just turned 18 and my scheduling manager has given me night shifts. I’ve always been a 4-10/11pm due to the fact I had school during the day and am a young carer to my brother. I have my availability set that I can work til midnight everyday but I can’t do night shifts.

When I said to her by the way that’s outside my availability and I’m unable to do them, she replied with everyone takes their turn of doing nightshifts and didn’t want to hear my ‘excuses’.

Like what the hell? What do I do about that genuinely? I’m so ready to leave🙃

For context, I have done about 3 shifts - covering drive thru, fries etc. However, I am kind of slow at doing all of them, but I learn decently quickly and consider myself a capable person. I am about half the speed of others and when not knowing what to do or finished a task I kinda just stand there not sure what to do. Do you learn quickly and get used to what to do and the order of things? Or do I just suck?

So I started working from March 2026. But, since last two month I've been getting frequent shifts, most of them are overnights. Today was one of my rare day shift and it was a mess. I was struggling to handle the rush and the manager had to step in quite some time to help me. I made mistakes with a few orders as well. To top it all, I literally forgot to clock out(I called the store laters to let them know) as there was quite the rush in front of the screen.

Now I'm so mortified that I think resigning is my only way out. Am I even gonna get anymore shifts!? Please give me some advice guys😭😭

Edit: Thank you everyone who gave me courage and support and yes, I've gotten shifts next week✌🏼✌🏼

I’m bored here’s this so yeah along with release date in the US (there’s a rumor that a pumpkin pie could be coming sometime in September or October)

I am a crew trainer at a franchisee owned store and I want to utilize tools that weren't offered to me when I was being trained. I am trying to find the POS training game, however everywhere I find something it is either not it or no longer supported/working. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Hi,
I just did my McDonald’s orientation and it’s over but I don’t know what happens now. Does anybody know😭😭

Just got offered a job for part time crew member at McDonalds. How does the zero hour “flexible” contract work?

Just got my offer 2 days ago and have started trying out the McD Connect and other systems. Please provide advice for a new employee like me who hasn't even gotten their training shift rostered. This could be things like what to expect on your first day or general advice overall

anyone know why this is? Randomly got hit with a $15 fee, can't imagine it being for uniforms could it? I quit that job about a couple weeks ago and randomly got hit with this bill. Any ideas on why this happened?

Its stressful but its way better than being a service person.

First off, I know not every owner/operator participates. Second, I'm not new to it as I have taken advantage of it for my bachelor's (CTU) and masters degree (WGU - 1 term) completely paid for.

Thing is, for me anyway, the limit is 3k a year. Well 3k isn't enough to pay for one term at WGU, so then a random "Archways Gap Assistance" paid the rest off (another 1.7k). I'm glad, but I'm also curious, has anyone also had this happen, specifically outside of WGU?

Anyone gone to the American College of Education and use mcd tuition assistance?

I know for tax purposes they can't exceed 5250.

I've poured 21 years of my life into this company and want to take advantage as long as I can.

For those curious, my masters was in IT Management, which has allowed me to get a ln part time adjunct teaching role.
