Fast food service is a (unnecessarily) cutthroat business filled with some of the most despicable people you can meet. I'm similarly skeptical to something like this being a simple accident.

It's certainly a place where the most base elements of authoritarianism get praised. I went to military school where you could see that many cadets got leadership positions not so much because they were good leaders but simply because they showed a desire for authority and so it was just easy to give it to them. As far as shift managers go that's necessarily the requirement but to move up beyond that, especially beyond the store level it's definitely a thing.

I always learned that moving up in positions at the work place is based much more upon personality than on work ethics. Such as building fun and happy relationships with your bosses and spending as much time as you can bragging about how good of a worker you are even if you're not.

Part of being a feminist is putting a rubber on your dick without being asked.

If a woman is upset with you shortly after a sexual encounter that means you exploited the situation. Scoff it you want about it coming from me but you let out these little comments that display bad form.

Definitely, but the desire to tell people what to do is often rewarded simply because it's easier to give those people positions of power than evaluating how good of a leader someone is. Plenty of people network to get good positions, but there's a limited amount of positions for even those people and it simply makes it easier to decide who should lead when someone takes it upon themselves to lead without having the authority in the first place. People in high positions don't necessarily care that the person being promoted is capable, they just need a body to put in a position who'll do the job.

It was much easier to notice in a school with 150 students where capable leaders were in more short supply, so when some domineering **** who you'd never think to give a leadership position was given one you knew why.

At my previous job I was given the opportunity to be a supervisor but declined because I didn't want the extra responsibilities piled on top of what I already took responsibility for with hardly a raise and more importantly they had been promising it to the only coworker at the time that was worth a **** and I didn't wanna see him get bent over and ****ed by the company again so I vouched for him. In retrospect I should have taken it since they always came to me to fix everything anyways. I can rant on about how evil of a company Sodexo is. Drastically overworked, drastically under payed completely low standards. These ****ers were literally making pitchers of crystal light and selling it for $30 as 'fruit punch'.

Edit: That crystal light bull**** is the evil of capitalism.

Bruh you ignored the fight for the ladder. You won. The fallout might not have been fun for you but you didn't fight another person for a position. That's a win afaic.

My fallout with the company wasn't about the position, it's about them just being a ****ty company that doesn't value it's employees.

Actually, one of my gripes was that they kissed my ass way too much and they didn't give my coworker enough credit. I'm probably one of the only people in the history of the workforce who's been upset about this. But when you work an extremely stressful **** job that underpays you, you tend to value the people that pull their fair share of work. I definitely had power struggles though. Not in climbing the ladder, but in kicking people off the ladder for pulling us down. It's resulted in some fairly hilarious moments.

"Are you going to be a bus so that we can throw Mike under you? We can get matching costumes! I'll dress up as the knife you stabbed in his back!"

"No, I got one of those funny banana costumes."
