Used to work at McD. Left in 2015, never looked back.
Look folks, this company was the best of the world at one time. I chose to come to work there for that reason and did so for 25 years. We did some of the best offshore projects. When we spoke everybody else listened. MDR used to pay over 4% dividend. I owned it for many years and made great profit.
But, this new management came to power in 2013 and poisoned the whole thing for their own personal gain. One reason I left. They are still at it. They do not care about the employees or the company for the long term.
Simply put, we used to make great profit because we and only we had the technology and everybody (Shell, BP, Exxon. Mobil, Chevron. Hess, Pemex.....etc.) all had to come to us. We charged good money and made good profit.
Since about 2008, this company forgot innovating and technology. Management thought, they can just jockey the numbers and keep making money. The world is not what it used to be in 2000. Just check what happened to Nokia and Blackberry....... McD did exactly what Nokia did....
So today, they are desperately trying to stay alive for another day to collect another bonus. I know thru a good friend that the CEO is so darn worried about losing his $5mill home. He made the down payment for it in 2014 when he cashed in his first bonus. But it is not paid off and he knows he will lose that house the day BK is filed,
So these guys do not care about you, only for their own bank balance. Unf they do not care about the future of the company either.
I wish all of current employees a good luck. Hope your department gets sold to a place where they can make it work and keep you.
