The sad part is many minorities work these shitty jobs this hard for the crappy base pay anyways.


[image loading]



+ Show Spoiler +
if its 50 hours a week
Overtime (time+half for the ten hours every week)
so 15x52= 598 at $11.25 = $8775
if its 10x52=520 x 11.25 = $5850

base yearly salary at $7.5 = $15,600

with over time salary at 55 = $24,375 /yr. or 50 = $21,450 /yr.


Total of 2,860 hours

$102,000 potential win amount = +$36.44/hr

Total Working: $43.94/Hr, Salary of $123,450




Here is a rough draft so far of the terms...

1.) We mutually decide upon a McDonald's close to where he lives.

2.) He gets a entry level job at that location.

3.) Every week he must work a minimum of 55 hours.

4.) He must work all 52 consecutive weeks from the start of the prop bet.

5.) I gave him 85 to 1 odds, with a maximum wager of 1.2k.(Max win of 102k, max loss of 1.
2k for him)
6.) I will be in contact with his manager to make sure he is working hard and meets requirements.

7.) AlReturns must post pictures and give trip reports on a weekly basis.


It probably wont be easy finding a McDonald's that will have him work 55-60 hours for every week but I am sure its possible.


Cliff notes: Friend must work at McDonald's 55hrs a week, for all 52 weeks without quitting.

I'd probably try then fail horribly when I get fired for constantly being late and high on shift. Only things you could do to make it at all bearable lol.

Money is not a strong enough motivational factor for me, so no way.

I'l rather work for $18 grand grand a year in a job that I enjoy than for $100k at MacDonalds.


However, if I would fail my university and not have access to interesting jobs than I would do it, easy.
9hour shifts over 6 days would be ez.

My Polish friends were working 55 hours a week nightshifts, weekends etc and they do it constantly

It's not in the OP yet, I think, but he posted more information about why he's doing this.. It's not just for shits and giggles.

Wait a second.

The $102k wager won't be taxed. Which state are you in anyhow? Anyways I'd think this would be the equivalent of $80/hour taxable income, equivalent to something like $220k in a year. Hell I'd do that.

This seems like a risky bet if he has to work the full 55 hours each week to get the money. If they hire too many people or business goes down or something, and he only gets 45 hours, then he loses even if he's already worked there for ages.

i think being scheduled @ mickey d's for 55 hours a week will be the hardest part for him. Managers of any food service company usually frown on giving people any kind of overtime.

i actually been working ~55hrs as an intern @ summer 08. so this should be no problem beside standing/being bored to death.

edit: i intern as a front-end web developer. not a fast food server.

8 hrs a day for 7 days... hmm, seems boring, but if you can find some frequent customers or cool coworkers to chat with, then time will pass by faster. i'd do it. $102k untaxed.
