An Entire McDonald’s Staff Quit Their Jobs And Recorded It On TikTok

An entire McDonald’s staff quit and posted their leave on TikTok.

Alleged bad working conditions reportedly forced an entire group of employees to quit their job at McDonald’s, and it was all captured through TikTok. The footage was posted by the TikTok user @Zoey.isback, who expressed her and her co-workers’ feelings about working the burger joint, The Independent reports.

The video starts with a sign on the restaurant’s door that reads, “Everyone quit, we are closed.” The video then shows the layout of the restaurant, which is empty. “When everyone quit unexpectedly at the same time,” the caption read.

Details about the mass quitting were in the comments. The user said that McDonald’s branch “was run by teenagers and it was a terrible workspace,” adding that the issue was about how much she got paid there.

As the pandemic somewhat finally comes to a close, more and more people, especially minimum wage workers, are quitting their jobs. And restauranteurs
are noticing.

“The pandemic highlighted issues that have been problems in the industry for decades, minimum wages, lack of benefits, dangerous working conditions, the cyclical nature of laying off and rehiring staff when it’s convenient for employers’ balance sheets. These problems are not new, but we need new solutions because clearly, the status quo is not working,” Michael Lastoria, who owns &Pizza, a chain in Washington, D.C.

According to The Independent, Tim Taney, owner of the restaurant Slidin Dirty in Troy, New York, told the outlet, “We have to recognize that we do have some of the hardest working people in the workforce, and they deserve to be treated that way.”
