The management trainee program at McDonalds has been among the best in existence for decades; if she didn't show the initiative to want to 'work her way up', who's fault is that?
It's certainly not the CEO's fault, or any of his predecessors; IIRC, they've had at least four during her decade as an employee.
But, when you're rifling through a stack of resumes, whittling down that stack to interviewing size and all you have to go by is words on a piece of paper, a college degree tells a prospective employer that this particular individual set out a long-term goal, worked hard and achieved it.
Without personally knowing the background and acumen of each and every applicant in that stack, this is the kind of thing that separates the people who will get a face to face, and those that won't.
Again, I agree that a sheepskin doesn't guarantee a great employee. But all things considered, it helps get that all-important foot in the door.
Pretty expensive way to get one's foot in the door. I'd almost call that a form of extortion.
Aren't most if not all McDonalds independently owned and operated? She should be complaining to the owner of the franchise. Or better yet, learn a skill and work your way up.
Getting skills or degree is no guranetee of a better job nowadays plenty of college graduates can not find jobs but that garbage answer is always spewed out by the Right Wing.
This woman did not put time and effort into improving herself.
Why on earth do some of you think that it isn't necessary to assess your own flaws and remedy them?
As a manager, I can show you many employees who have no interest in learning anything new, improving their own performance, or growing as a human being. These are the folks who bellyache the loudest when they don't move up - and they have some CD posters here shrieking that it isn't their fault, that it is just so hard to gain skills and credentials!!
Some things are hard. Those are the things that yield real results - such as being highly paid.
When did striving for a goal and taking lumps on the way there become strictly right wing?
Do you people truly think that people shouldn't have to work nights or go to school at night or practice diction or be vigilant about birth control?
Why do you assume she has the ability to improve themselves for some people this kind of work is all they can do. How many people can be managers at where you manager is there enough for all your employees?

LOL... So since there is no 100% gaurentee she'll get a better job or better position, she should just stay put and flip burgers forever without attempting to obtain a better job.
Believe me, that is news to some people. Apparently not even employees of McDonald's knows it.
