Merry McXmas

By myjobsucks - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, I found out that I'm working on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I'm spending my favourite time of the year working for $8.70 an hour. At McDonald's. FML

Actually you'll get double time. And I get 12.80 an hour standard at 17 years old.

mcdonalds closes early on holidays oh wait where im at they are closed on major holidays that sucks but im working also

In South Australia you get triple time on Christmas day and it's by request only, so only people that want $50+ an hour work. So that's BS - $8.70. I'm manager at Maccas, I think I'd know.

Just be thankful you have work. There are lots of people who are still struggling to find a job.

Haha... Maybe you should go to a new outlet, where i'm from, i like my job at McDonald's. It's fun!;)

I only got 8.25 an hour at mcdonalds in CT and no you don't necessarily get time and a half. I also will be working probably all of those holidays for 8.50 at the grocery store which won't get any business anyway. no holiday pay. Fml

I thought it was unwritten but common protocol to allow one of the two days off? Off xmas gotta work new years n vice versus
