    Lol and do what with the info? Fast food service has insane turnover already due to employees making shit wages and being treated horribly by managers and customers alike. So you’ve already preselected for employees that dont give a FUCK about anything.

      The secret is going beyond making logical sense to regular people. How does an executive can make it look like their job matters? By offering solutions to problems that don’t exist. They can just pay someone to manipulate numbers and have accomplishments on their résumé.
