A photo of a sign inside a McDonald's restaurant that has gone viral has sparked a lot of pushback online. The yellow sign reads, "Because we feel that many situations can be resolved, it is the policy that an employee cannot quit until he or she talks to the Restaurant Manager or Area supervisor. We value you, your growth, and your contributions. This is a no-quit restaurant."
Many people are outraged by this policy, which has been confirmed to be an individual restaurant's implementation. The "at-will employment" law states that employers do not have the right to stop employees from quitting whenever they please. This means that McDonald's is infringing on the rights of their employees with this policy.
Social media users have been quick to voice their opinions on this matter. One Twitter user wrote, "If you see this sign at a job you need a union... Like, you gonna just keep paying them if they walk out and never come back? Unionize everything. I just don't understand how they can even try to make that rule."
The outcry against this policy has been strong. It's clear that McDonald's will need to reevaluate their approach to staffing shortages, as their current policy is not only unethical but also illegal.
