McDonald’s Deletes Post About Alleged Intern Salary Dispute
On September 6, McDonald's India posted on X (formerly Twitter) a thread from an individual claiming to be an intern who had not received salary payments for months. The post went viral before being deleted by the company within hours and labeled as 'fake news.' The alleged intern claimed they were managing several Asian accounts but resorted to taking two additional jobs and investing in meme coins due to financial hardship, stating that this led them to lose money daily. The incident has drawn attention from the crypto community, where there is a common joke linking market crashes with increased hiring at McDonald's. Experts caution investors against putting all their funds into volatile assets like meme coins without proper diversification or professional advice. The post also reignited discussions around Elon Musk’s past proposal to have McDonald's accept Dogecoin payments. McDonald's India has not yet responded publicly beyond calling the claims fake, and no further comments were provided at time of publication.
