Sounds to me like they can't pay her what she's really worth because of the minimum wage law! She's just another whiney parasite blaming everybody else because she's worthless!

The best doer is not necessarily the best manager and vice-versa.

Assuming she receives TANF benefits, she is eligible for her GED if necessary and job training. That requires drive and discipline.
Does she not have a GED or HS diploma?

And yes, millions of kids work at fast food restaurants. Nobody said anything about being 16.

These jobs are temporary while a kid gets an education, finds better work or moves up into management. If this woman hasn't pursued any of those options, she's got some real issues.
I never denied that kids work fast food, but your comment makes it seem as if ONLY kids work in fast food and it isnt true.

The majority working in fast food are adults, not children because children are in school during the day.

Unless the CEO is father of her children, I think she needs to voice her anger with the father for not providing support.

Oh really? Tell me how powerless the president of McDonald's is if one of his franchisees decides to buck the system.

Even if you own 10,000 shares, you're still a nobody.

The club used to be a men's only club. She never would have made it pass the door man, back then.
Not only that but (and I know this from dealing with them) executives never want to hear anything except an echo back of their own beliefs. They pretend to want to hear what people think, but quickly get a look on their face as if they just crapped their pants and need to hide when anyone speaks contrary to what they want to hear.
I'm all for the idea of working hard and achieving things, but most executives tend to have a religious fanaticism about them when it comes to their job. I don't get along well with people who display this kind of characteristic, since I believe it to be way unbalanced.

Yeah, a high school diploma or equivalent sure opens up doors.

It's a start ? I'm not sure what you getting at. I was just asking if she graduated HS.
