How hard is it to get fired from Mcdonalds?

Question

How hard is it to get fired from Mcdonalds?

I'm hopefully going to start working there soon, and I'm a little worried about how long I'll be able to hold a job.

My strengths: I'm always punctual, I'm a hard worker, and I pay attention to detail.

My weaknesses: I can be slow at times (too meticulous). I have trouble hearing people in environments with loud background noises.

I'm 16 years old. I have over 43 hours of community service on record, and have done yard work for my grandma for over a year. This will however, be my first "official" job.

Answer 1

McDonalds holds very high standards so its hard to say.

Answer 2

I work for McDonald's now. I work for a corporate owned store so I don't have a "family Buisness" problem but i have some of the same strengths and weaknesses as you. Honestly they don't care. if you screw up orders they'll just fix them. they screw orders up all the time. The only way you could really get fired is by not calling in sick (for us you're allowed 2 no call no shows before you geylt fired) and just not showing up, stealing food, or basically like physically hurting a customer.



I've seen people cuss out each other, their manager, and even other customers and nothing happen. It's honestly a great job if you can just stick with it. Its easy work and fair pay. Itll be hard at first but they'll be patient with you. I promise after about a week youll get the hang of it all

Answer 3

PSH!

McDonald's was my first "real" paying job before that I worked in a family owned establishment so I could work when I was 13 but off of tips, but I started with McDonald's when I was 16 too and it was a horrible first job, but I wasn't expecting much the staff teased me a lot since McDonald's are franchised mines had nothing but a Hispanic family that's all they hired were either their cousins or aunts or uncles none were from outside of their family. I was a super good worker, I was a honor student too so I knew some stuff but nothing could ever prepare you for how lousy they are, nothing. I read through my manual so many times and they were always breaking the rules and they got away with it since they were all family they just acted like a family not workers. But they would purposely always ruin my work or even hit me! I had a woman worker tease me about how I'm slow when it comes to things and my supervisor was a young kid that was no older than me and he would tease me too along with his family since I was the butt of their jokes. It was just an awful work place I thought at first "yeah everyone's first job must suck" but this was literally bad and taken to the point of harassment but I didn't know what to do since I was a teenager. I even remember telling the manager that hired me which was all of the workers uncle, and he just laughed at me he never believed me on how they treated me and even he would join in on the teasing and he would call me a liar about the things they would do to me. But after all that they didn't fire me I think I was their entertainment but after so much they finally got caught and headquarters sent in a new supervisor and manager to take over the area and they made all the bad ones transfer to other McDonald's locations if they wanted to keep their jobs. As for me the new manager and supervisor "promised" they would find me another area but never did and I just never got called into work again. So I believed I was let go without them telling me anything and this was all in a series of about 3 months.

Answer 4

Your message came across that you don't want to be there, you just needed any job for the money. Shift your metal attitude on how to bring the best food, experience to the customers and coworkers. Don't just treat it as a job, it's an experience that you will need after you finish with the expense college. Do your job efficiently and volunteer for other kitchen duties when you are done with your assigned duty (that's probably where the lack of communication comes in). The faster and (accurate) you can get things done the more valuable you are to the team. I worked in fast food for $3.50/hr when I was in 9th grade making fried chicken, fries, roast beef sandwich thinking back it was an interesting experience. Good luck.

Answer 5

The odds you can get fired are notable. As I read, you do good and I guess so, but pay attention not to slow down when working. The owners may replace you with someone else arrived in a flash.

Answer 6

Well let me clue you in on a New York Women with 2 twins who worked there ( MCDS) for 8 years. She got fired for paying for firefighters meals. Is this a company you really wana support

Answer 7

You will not get fired. As long as you don't burn the place down, not show up to work multiple times, or kill someone while on shift, you will be fine. I promise.

Answer 8

Depends on the location, also they are a kiss *** buisness and pay minimum wages for maximum effort so it;s a last resort job to say the least, **** them!

Answer 9

its impossible tog get fired from such an un-prestigous restaurant chain, you need no qualifications to work at mcdonalds, basically if you are not a serial killer you will get a job there

Answer 10

They care about money. Do something to slow the influx of cash and you're out.

Answer 11

Just come on time. Do what they ask. It's okay to be a bit slow at first.

Answer 12

Just do your best and you won't be released for the job. most lily they need workers so it won't be easy to get fired.

Answer 13

pretty hard to get fired, just be nice to your coworkers and the customers and they really can't fire you.

Answer 14

well if you focus on strengthening your weakness then there shouldn't be a problem.
