McDonalds changes the face of the workplace

McDonalds (one of the largest employers of young people in the UK) may have just changed the way job contracts work forever.

Always an easy target, mainly because their food is (to be honest) shit, McDonalds have decided to allow whole families to share work, and may even be expanded to include friends sharing jobs.

It's an interesting new way to work and one that's bound to have an impact on students who may be unable to commit to full time work, but that can't find suitable part time work either. The idea of a job and flat-share doesn't seem that far away.

This seems pretty progressive to me. OK< I'm sure that McDonalds is doing it purely for financial reasons but anything that promotes a more flexible approach to working is worth crediting.

And yes, I will have fried with that.
