McDonalds On 15th Street Loses Fry Cook To Walmart

From TechCrunch: Yahoo! loses head of developer network to UK paper

The fry cook has taken a new position as the greeter at the 19th street Walmart. Many may see this as a huge development at Walmart because of the lack of fry expertise in the general retail goods market. Why would Walmart need a fry cook? I dare not speculate.

First of all, I don’t care. Second of all, I don’t care.

I actually like reading TechCrunch, but posts like these make the content on TechCrunch seem contrived. Here’s my suggestion. Post about real things of value, don’t just post because you need something for people to come back and read to sell ads.

One individual in a company of thousands makes no difference. The thing people need to remember is people are as loyal to companies as companies are loyal to their people. Everyone is in the workplace to make a living and if a better living comes a long, usually they jump ship. In the end, I’ll tell you how much this person leaving Yahoo means…. zip. I’m mad I wasted the last five minutes posting about this.
