Why Is Mcdonalds Have A Bad Job

The author of this particular article, Working at McDonalds, Amitai Etzioni is a sociology professor at the institute of George Washington University and the founder of the non-profit organization known as Communitarian Netwroks. In this essay he narrates his strong belief that working at any fast food chain restaurants is detrimental towards a students future. He validates his reasons that student do not benefit any long-term skills as taught in these restaurants. He beliefs that these jobs take away time from school and/or after school activities such as sports, clubs, etc. This skews a students perspective of the importance of a high-quality education that leads them towards their dreams and goals of a career in the major they perceive to

Amitai Etzioni, Dr. of Sociology at University of California at Berkeley, argues that it is bad for kids to work at fast food chains like McDonald’s. He applies his criteria to evaluate the value of jobs in the fast food industry. He states that all though these employers provide a large number of jobs that teenagers can fill, they do not provide high educational jobs that can lead to a bright future. Often they are repetitive in nature and often in unsupervised by adults. These jobs are comprised of highly routine, mechanized movements that require little individual initiative (250). The resemble the movements that were immortalize by Charlie Chaplin in the film “Modern Times” where the worker movement are so mechanized that he eventually is engulfed by the modern machinery and become part of the machine (Chaplin Modern Times). Although, Etzioni’s criticism presented some logical concerns, teenagers working at McDonald undoubtedly provide critical stage of early life lessons about the society they are getting prepared to become a member.

On McDonalds For my business course, I have been asked to prepare a report for a business at work. I could choose any business to investigate. I decided to do McDonalds because it is globally recognised and of its size. Also because it is a franchise I thought that it would be interesting to see how a franchise operated.

In "Working at McDonald's," Amitai Etzioni argues that it is unhealthy for high school students to work at fast food restaurants, such as McDonald’s because the jobs have a lack of structure, are non-educational, and result in poor academic performance.

I worked for McDonald's as a crew member and cashier from August 2014 until March 2015. I averaged between 4-12 hours a week. My posititons included taking customer's orders from the front register and drive-thru window. I also handled money and gave the customers their food. In addition to this, I also worked at Bombs away Inc. as a store clerk from March 2015 until June 2015. I averaged 6-9 hours a week. My job was to keep the store tidy, fold clothes, and stock

The first reason most people apply for this job is because they enjoy it at first. What is the point of choosing a job that one will loathe? A miserable job will only make for a miserable life..

The corporation I chose to discuss is McDonald’s. McDonald’s is a publicly traded corporation that includes the following domestic companies, McDonald’s, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Boston Market. This paper will discuss the following:

To say McDonald’s should take responsibility for a customer’s weight gain is ignorant and completely unjustified. This company does not claim that their burgers and fries are good for you, so why should they be punished? Parents involved in the 2002 lawsuit claim McDonald’s caused obesity in their teens, “Ms. Bradley's father, Israel, who now lives with his daughter in Brooklyn, said he never saw anything in the McDonald's restaurants he visited providing information about the ingredients in the food, according to court documents. ''I always believed McDonald's was healthy for my children,'' he said in an affidavit,” (Santora). There is a nutrition calculator located on McDonald’s website, and, at many restaurants, there are nutrition facts

I think that the Authors main idea for this article is to show how McDonald’s can be ignorant to their workers. First, instead of helping them by getting higher wages, they are trying to show them how they can live with the wages they are making. Which is an insult to those who are earning low wages. Second, why would they want to be educated on how to live on almost nothing? When the author suggested that the $13.8 million Owner of McDonalds try to live on the McBudget it truly shows how the author feels about the budget that they were giving to the workers. When all our daily expenses are added up it’s a big sum that doesn’t add up with the budget system they have created.

Due to globalization and increased competition in the fast food industry, a very complex environment is created for McDonald’s. There are various internal and external environmental factors affecting the functions of McDonald’s corporation and demands for new innovations. The factors are as follows:

The jobs i've had during high school has been being a dishwasher at first at this restaurant in Milford called Palate “a place for your buds” It wasn't terrible I still dishwash for them every now and then. But now i'm a cook there which is pretty cool getting to make new dishes,make up new ones and just getting to cook and plate food. Definitely one of the better jobs mainly because i never realized I had a secret passion for food and cooking. Dishwashing was one of those jobs that became a hassle if you do it for to long term it starts to become a bit tedious but if controlled it's not bad just really wet,steamy, and hot working conditions and can't be afraid to get dirty. While cooking is one of the better jobs it still has its toll, conditions

Despite McDonald’s excellent global strategy and localization they do face controversy. From the first time McDonald’s opened its doors in 1972, policymakers and the media was concerned about the impact the fast-food would have on the French culture. This controversy kept the company in the pubic eyes. So, when the World Cup finals was held in France, French citizens protest when McDonald’s became the official food. They believed it is too symbolic to America. McDonald’s is an easy target as everyone around the world know what McDonald’s is. Also, it is known to be an icon of capitalism. The company internationally is symbolized as “all to American”, therefore is a huge target for protest.

McDonald’s is one of the biggest companies in the world with restaurants in 119 countries and it has accomplished this extraordinary global presence through its effective management practices. McDonald’s uses a combination of Fredrik Taylor’s scientific management, Max Weber’s hierarchical structure, and Henri Fayol’s administrative principles to run its restaurants. McDonald’s has become a mechanistic organization by making its restaurant environment predictable. McDonald’s has developed set management structure and a predetermined set of procedures for running its restaurants. As a result, McDonald’s has come to resemble a machine where employees are like components of the big McDonald’s machine.

Growing up, everyone is told to pursue a career doing something they love. Who wouldn’t want a job that not only pays well but is also enjoyable? Although many individuals obtain well-paying jobs, you would be surprised how many of them actually hate their job. In fact, 20% to 40% of people report hating their job (Ashley Stahl). Having a job you hate will most likely result in an unhappy life. Not only will you be unhappy, but you could also bump into some serious health issues along the way. Yes, everyone loves money, but your health and well-being should always come first. The positive effects that come from having a job you love outweigh the possibility of not making that much money; having a job you love is important because it determines how happy you will be in life.

Over the last four years, I’ve delt a great deal with RFID supply chains, and have seen first hand the positive advancements that are made with them. If given the opportunity to lead this project with your company, I believe I can close the gap between Intel and it’s competitors.
