Taking Advantage
It's incredible how people are taken advantage of in the fast food industry. I don't understand how these businessmen pride themselves on getting cheap labor from teenagers, the uneducated and disadvantaged-- it's absolutely sickening. Also, I found it a bit upsetting that managers get bonuses for having their employees work more hours but finding a way to pay them less. The word that immediately came to mind was SWINDLE! I may be naive to think so, but I would think that managers and employees would be on the same side against the fast food industry. The more I read, the more the fast food industry becomes the "Dark Side," and managers seem to selfishly be leaning towards that side. It further puts them into a bad light when you realize that the employees that are being taken advantage of are teenagers and mostly non-english speaking people. How could someone do that? Regardless of the job, how could people throw other human beings under the bus in order to better themselves. It makes more sense for these big business men because they presumably make a large buck off of these people, but a manager? Could you really be bettering your life THAT much by making people work more for less? If you want to make more money, get a better job. If I were in their position and thought of doing what many managers do, I'd have to take a step back and re-evaluate my life because I honestly wouldn't respect myself.
