McDonalds - $22/hr?

[CaseoftheEX]

I was told that McDs pay will be going up again shortly after the new year and they will be paying $22/hr min. Is this true? wow hhaah, I can just see it now all the people lining up to flip burgers.

[?????]

I doubt it man.

[3G]

i smell bs*smells* :bullshit:

[smontyLS1]

I heard they were already paying that much up north. I would think that would be a manager pay or something, this labor shortage is rediculous. If they start paying 22 bucks an hour to anyone off the street I'm freaking quitting my job as an apprentice. My boss told me that inflation doesn't affect me so I shouldn't expect a raise.......:bullshit:

Thats not bs you smell...thats McDonalds :rofl:

[QuasarCav]

If Mcdonalds is paying that to start I'll work nights for the extra 40k a year and half price food.

That is obviously for an extreme case like Fort Mac or Grande Prairie and for a full time day shift. In Calgary I'm guessing 22/hr is close to what the top manager is getting.

[Mibz]

I believe it. The McDonalds, Wendys and Burger King near my house only have their drive thru open a few hours a day on weekdays because they don't have the staff for it. 90% of fast food places have signs up apologising for the staffing issues. Wacky.

[RotaryPower]

^^^

Yeah...
If it is for calgary... McDicks HERE I COME:burnout:

[Supa Dexta]

I wonder what managers get... I should go manage one of them.. hell 2.. one in the morning, then an evening shift.. 100k/yr fast food jobs ftw...

:rofl:

my thoughts exactly, im dropping my apprenticeship and going to McCracks if these rumours are true!

[czechtino]

Man my first job was at mcdicks some time when i was like 15 or 16 years old and i was getting paid like 5.50 or some bull shit. 22 buck and hour or even 15 is huge money for doing bull shit work like that. Good to know I was getting bent over the hole time i was there.


:guns: :whipped:

[Kritafo]

i know that back in the 80's wendy's managers were making in the 40,000.00 range.

But it meant being at their beck and call all hours of the day and night and having to deal with kids that don't show up for shift. Who do you think fills in....the managers.

When Wendy's had a salad bar they started at 5 am with the lettuce and chili. after closing it took hours to pack away and drain the salad bar they would clean until 3 or 4 in the morning. Only a few hours in the day that someone wasn't at the restaurant.

My best friend was a manager he did 44 k + a year that was around 1988

:rofl:

MCD's managers average 50-60G's a year now

I was making fun of my bro because when he was a swing manager there he got $6 something an hour.

[czechtino]

Someone should tell this to all the stupid kids downtown cleaning car windows and asking for money. Get a job at mcdicks and stop begging for money. Wash car windows on your spare time man i hate those fools.

[$lick_rYz]

it's finally time to see these fuckin big name companies bend over for us. I used to work at McDicks for minimum wage ($5.90 at the time) but it's finally good to see them get taken advantage of...and if it's $22/hour they gonna pay, man I'm quiting school and my bank job and ready to start flipping burgers again

Let me ask my mom. Shes been working at McD's for 15+ years i don't even think she gets paid that much.

yeah no way, over the summer they went from base $7.50/hr to still only $8.50/hr and manager's were at $11/hr.

There's no way they have it at $15 (...in CGY at least, maybe extreme places like fort mac on a store by store basis).

and $22 = :bullshit: :bullshit: :bullshit: :bullshit:

[ICEBERG]

Couple months ago i took the kids over to McDonalds at country hills location. There was a lady who was taking orders over there just finished her shift. Afterwards I saw her walking to her car across the parking lot. Guess what she was driving. Brand new Mercedes Benz ML500. I told the kids i am quiting my day job and flipping burgers for a living.:D

Would you really pay a 14-15 year old teenagers anymore than that?

[SpeedyZ]

uhhhhh yeah except for the fact that wendys and burger king in crowfoot were open only untill 5 because they were so understaffed and right now burger king is hiring at $15 hr?

[88CRXGUY]

I was at Mcdicks yesterday and the sign said $9.50 daytime shift, and $8.50 for part time. There was nothing said about 22 bucks an hour, I call bullshit..

[googe]

understaffed or not, theyre not paying that high. people are exaggerating. fast food salaries are up, but thats just laughable. more like $9 to $12.

you wouldnt be able to afford to take your family there if they were all making $22/hr.

[dieselpower91]

I couldn't see them paying starting position employees more than $10 or so.

Half these signs you see "$12/hr full time @ dairy queen" etc... I am betting that they don't actually offer that as starting wage. That is probably "Starting wage <fine print>up to<end fine print> $12/hr" just to entice people into working those shitty jobs. I don;t care if they hired $22/hr I still wouldn't quit my job to make more money doing something I would hate and having to work with disrescting punks.

....ummm all of calgary understaffed much?

there's no way in hell that mcd's is paying 12+/hr for start, the employee turnover is to great that they can just find someone else to work 3-4 months, etc.

uhhhh i dont know where your getting your statistics form but there paying $8.50/h, maybe if your manager you get paid $15/h
hahaha

[turbotrip]

a friend of mine started working at a burger king here in calgary last year at 16/hour flipping burgers, so it might be true

[djayz]

maybe if they didnt build a tim hortons mcdonalds burger king starbucks second cup harveys and wendys on every street corner they would have enough people to work.

even tho there is a labour shortage how the hell do you expect to fill 200,000 or so jobs at fast food joints when our city only has a million people.

the max i think theyw ould pay anyone there is $12/hr. Labour jobs like in warehouses only pay like $12-$18 so how the hell would mcdonalds pay $22

[realazy]

i know at the northland mcdonalds they're offering $10/hr, that's pretty far off from 22.

I heard in medicine hat and other cities are offering closer to 15 and 20 though, but you wont see that in calgary.

[Dayclone]

Calgary has some serious issues with labor right now... but everyone is RICH! lol... I'm getting paid pretty good working at The Keg, but even a big company like us were experiencing labor shortages.

Steve

[max_boost]

$22 is rather high. That number is probably reserved for those who have longer tenure and/or management. They will make what the market dictates. There is no such thing as being underpaid or overpaid in the service industry. Just a lot of people feeling they got the shaft when what someone they consider working a lower end job gets paid more than they do.

[Dren]

22 is a bit high for Mc D's...


that 176 in a hour hour shift. think fast food would max around 15 in Calgary

My cousin works there, she's getting paid in the $8 range.

[thinmyster]

cant put a price on your dignity though

[max_boost]

What's so bad about working at McDonald's?

I know some people who have worked at the Riverbend McD's for over 10+years. Every business will need a core group of employees to stick together to make it work. No shame in working there.

[thrasher22]

I worked fast food for years, its not a bad job. :dunno:

But $22 is definatly BS for anything but a manager. Thats still high for managment at most fast food

[Audio_Rookie]

tim hortons in fort Mac, new guys are getting 21$/hr.

so maybe up in fort mac....but not in Calgary.

[CivicTunr]

i know the wendys on mccloud a little bit south of chinook,
was starting at 12.50$ when i went there about a month ago.

My soci prof said he saw a sign on 16th Ave for a McDonalds that said $25/hr.

[whodiman]

My wife is working at Mcdonalds right now. Full time hires start around 8.00-8.50/hour. My wife is just part time and only makes 7.70/hour.

Your next question is why is she still working there. Cause she can hardly speak English. The funny thing is there are workers with worse English than hers.

[teggypimp95]

My cuz just went around to the mcdonalds all in the north and the most they said they start at is 9. So i think bs on the over 20 and hour.

[clockworkboy]

that video made me sick...Americans...do you really expect anything less?

:bullshit:

~10$ to start nowadays, I doubt it'll go 15+ in the next year.

[Xtrema]

All I know is they all use child labour but kids these days are useless and don't care.

Can't get nothing right and every McD I go to is at least 30min wait for food.

[nusneak]

If any of you are an apprentice in a trade and are thinking about working at mcdonalds you are completely retarded.

I've been doing sheetmetal for around 4 years now and make journeymen rate hourly and around $400/day for contract work, and I've never been to school. I also know journeymen and 3rd and 4th year apprentices that make less then me.

A few months ago a friend of mine that works at arpis that has been to school 3 times (3 years + 3000$) makes $17/hr, meanwhile my completely green friend to the trade makes $16/hr.

If you are not making lots of money it is your own damn fault and I laugh at you
my brother can bearly spell his own name and burns more money every 2 weeks then I make in a month.

BTW: my mom has worked at wal-mart for 10+ years and makes just under $15/hr being an assistant manager

[HuMz]

Sign today at the minapore mcdicks said "UP to 12$ a hour", im really hoping some of you didn't actually believe this fool.

Does not surprised me. I lived in Fort Mac for 15 years and the labour shortage there right now is crazy.

No part of the service industry can keep there staff because they all go to the oilsands plants. Even the plants are having labor shortage issues. It is everywhere. Alberta grew too fast, too quickly.

Alberta is going to be like this for awhile yet until everything settles out and has time to catch up.

[old&slow]

If they was paying $22 an hour ...there'd be no signs apologizing for not be open or for staffing shortages!

two things are gonna happen in Alberta...first labor from developing countries and second...work will be farmed out to overseas companies and shipped back here!
Both of which are happening.
Remains to be seen how it will affect the regular joe in the long run!

[Whitetiger]

$22/hour is quite a bit of money (for LABOUR) type of work, plus I doubt that the current workers hasn't gotten their little friends invovled if that were the case. (wake up, go to brainless work, smoke a little weed in the back, chill with your buddy at work, talk, chat, visit, make some food, clock-out, go home, turn on X-box/PS1,2,3, smoke some weed, order take out food...) and get paid $22/hr.

Yea, I was in Tim Hortons the other day... I wanted a smootie (hazelnut flavor), but the dude was staring at my BLANK... Like I'm the idiot.

I was like pointing and repeating at the board, he didn't even care to turn around to look, just kept on giving me blank stares.

Exactly. Maybe it's me but I find most kids these days working at restarants and retail are borderline braindead. They mope around and have this blank look on their face like fucking zombies. I'd rather do self-serve & check-out for everything than waste my time talking to statues that don't care to serve you nor have the mental capacity to answer a question. $1.50/hour is too much for todays wasted youth.:thumbsdow
