I'm currently at McDonald's as a crew and just applied to a shift manager position. I just wanna know that if it doesn't get approved, what happens? I know that I simply won't get promoted. Would it also affect my position as a CREW?
My job developer and family members said the fact that I applied for management position wouldn't affect my Crew position. What do y'all think? |

Good for you Ruby!!! That’s awesome you’re going for it. No I don’t believe a rejection would result in any changes in your current role.

Good luck to you with your application! I don’t think it will affect your current position. If anything, it highlights that you have aspirations to move up. So if you don’t get this one, people still might notice you and give you a chance the next time.

I agree with Sisabel. It reflects well on you. It shows motivation. Good luck!

Ruby, I've been following along your multiple posts about your jobs and difficulties in your workplaces - particularly those pertaining to getting along with your coworkers. I am shocked then you would make this application. It seems you yourself are assuming it will be in vain. While, yes, such things are usually looked at positively I really think you need to evaluate the reason for doing this.
If you want to advance and get attention in the workplace you need to perform your duties and perform them well. You need to show the ability you can get along with your coworkers. As for leadership positions you need to demonstrate you can earn the respect of your coworkers. This is what you need to do if you really want to get ahead: a. Sit down and evaluate yourself. What are your positive attributes? What are your negative? What can you improve? b. What do you envision you wish to accomplish? What role do you want to be in? Where do you see yourself in one, two, three three years from now. c. Establish then a goal. It needs to be realistic. It needs to be measurable. It needs to be assigned a time frame for completion. d. Write down your plan. e. Get your employer involved. Tell them your aspirations. Sell yourself on your current proven abilities and your plan for self-improvement. Enquire of them what you can do in the workplace to work toward the plan and how will your employer support you. Is there a training program in the company? Is there a management/leadership plan? How do you apply for them. Demonstrate to your employer you are interested and willing to do the necessary work towards achieving your goal. We had another discussion on your interview habits. You didn't sound like you were willing to put in any work or sound like you have taken responsibility for your results. Ruby, this is serious. This takes a great deal of responsibility and work to present your self as a suitable candidate. Please take this seriously. |

I might be confused but was it you who got in trouble for yelling something about cannibals or something while working? at mcdonalds? I vaguely recall other behavioral issues as well in the past as well. it's good you want to improve but in all seriousness, if I was a hiring official (and I have been in the past for a federal agency) you would not be the one I would pick. unless your work performance is spectacular, and your people skills have improved 2000% your track record is not great. plus you see no point in having an interview for the position...as if they should just hire you out right.
in my opinion, while it is good you want to move up, there are many incidents in your background which will hinder you now. you need to get a good firm grip on what you want as a career, why it is important, and get your self together (I know there are issues but still there are guidelines..no one gets a free ride especially in customer service industries..like mcdonalds…) if you can not manage yourself, then you should not manage others. |

Management positions are full time. Can you work full time?

if you get to a manager position how would you handle an employee you need to discipline going above you to the general manager because they didn't like what you stated to them?
how would you handle that? interested in your opinion since that is what you posted you did at work. what is your take on employees who don't follow the chain of command? especially at a corporate job. |
