Well, this certainly doesn’t sound good, now does it?

One person doing the work of three people?

Not cool!

But that’s what the person who posted this video is dealing with at their job at McDonald’s and they said that they might be fired because they only performed their closing duties at the restaurant when the store didn’t have enough workers.

The video shows all kinds of dirty dishes built up around the McDonald’s kitchen.

In the video, they say, “So tonight the pre-grill closer called in sick and they never scheduled us with a dishwasher. You know what’s funny is they expect me, the grill closer, to be the one who does all these dishes.”

They then added, “Oh yeah, wait. They expect us to do it in one hour? Not to mention I have to make all the sandwiches for the store until it closes, by myself. Who’s doing this?”

The text overlay in the video reads, “Who is doing the job of 3 people and only getting paid for the job of 1?”

They posted another video where they talked about why they’d been called into work early because someone else had called in sick and they explained the situation more in-depth.

How is work getting more unfair and expected to do more with less?

This has got to stop!
