Well the employee was also fired and their life ruined, and it's still early.

I can't find anything that mentions they were fired. Do you have a source for that? That would be super messed up.

Well I have it from the statements of the woman herself and the somewhat open gossip now of central PA.

I could try to pull sources but I'm not sure what I could provide that would be considered respectable enough for this community.

I think she was just put on leave but if you are a part time worker on leave without pay it sure looks like being fired even if on a technicality they can say she wasn't fired yet. I dunno she's acting like she was fucked over and I believe it when she thought she would get a bunch of money and be a hero.

I don't have sources that talk about people shitting on cars at the McDonald's but that's happening too.

Being fired? For being a distraction from the work that McDonald's wants to occur without people associating it with class warfare.

Honestly it's probably the manager reacting poorly and once it goes further up the ladder and there is more and more backlash they will turn back on these decisions same as the reward money if they are smart though I think the 10,000 is officially off the table since that was a private 3rd party and the 50,000 will likely be a fraction of that at best.

Any kind of change from norm gets blamed on whoever they think caused it. And it hits wide and usually the innocent just as much.

Until you can provide a source about them being fired I'm calling bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

That's fair and I respect your time enough to not post sources that amount to Facebook posts and texts from others that live there.

I will say it shouldn't come as such a stretch that a system that believes in those that interrupt the flow of money as villains no matter the reasons for it from protests to victims of bullying would mistreat an old lady who was hoping to get more out of her existence by being good for it.

So meet my statements with skepticism absolutely! But I implore you to treat as "what if true" rather than "what if false".
