We answer a visitor question:
Somewhere, along the line, a visitor to this website applied the then-popular term "pajamaboy (Thanks, Obama) to certain members of McDonald's management team.

"Pajama Boy" is a pejorative term for a photograph posted online in 2013 by the American political organization Organizing for Action of one of its employees, Ethan Krupp, in support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as "Obamacare".

Wasn't this kind of thing the beginning of D.E.I.?
A person who doesn't fit any of our normal profiles? Someone who, instead of being a stereotypical male, is frail and limp wristed.

The cover of this months QSR magazine features a picture of Whataburger CEO Debbie Stroud. Debbie spent several years in the
Raleigh Region as Regional manager for McDonalds. If you read the article, Debbie makes the case that Whataburgers success is due in large part by treating their people like "family". Im sure that's why she left MCD because under Chris K there is no sense of "family" at MCD. The partnership is DEAD

Hi Richard, the last few years Chris K and his horrible SLT has terminated so much talent from the corporation. He has replaced them with a bunch of marketing and pencil pushing accountants that have not a single clue on operations. His use of D.E.I. to get away from lawsuits is an insult to all people. There is no depth in talent in his team. The lack of two-way communication and disrespect on any form of feedback from Owner-Operators and Suppliers shows the insecurity of the SLT as they have no experience to fix the issues. So sad to see this occur.
