No one is hiring teenagers, anywhere. Hiring laid off workers instead, more experience.
My teenagers are working for me this summer, whenever I can work them.

Thanks MM- didn't know Posey was out of here. Really don't keep tabs on who owns what in town- just care about the service that seems to be getting worse with every year. You may be right on the bad management thing. Bad managers don't know how to train/motivate people to perform satisfactorily. Customers notice the lousy service. Sounds like McD's need to be more selective on the quality of their management people. Perhaps their management employment package offerings only attract lower quality candidates.

My advice is to look everywhere, take anything.

This is a hoorible job market, but ambition often wins over a manager even if a job isn't really available. Sometimes they hire an extra guy just to get rid of a weak link.

Steve Posey is gone. Gave up both places probably a couple of years ago. I heard he went to Florida, health reasons.
Parshall ran the Verity place and he ran it good. He's gone, too. I would say bad management for both places.]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2009 08:53:24 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4687&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4687 Teenage Jobs in Middletown? : MM- I noticed the McD's on... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4680&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4680 Author: VietVet

MM- I noticed the McD's on Breiel and Commerce Drive getting a little slower on filling the orders also. Might make a call to Steve Posey. He owns the McD's on Verity and Breiel. Perhaps that would motivate the workers to get the orders faster than 15 minutes.]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:25:27 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4680&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4680 Teenage Jobs in Middletown? : Just got back from the doctor.... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4660&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4660 Author: MadisonMom

Just got back from the doctor. Stopped at McD's on Verity, son and I had not had lunch yet.
Took 10-15 minutes for food inside. People were complaining. It was also shift change. When I mentioned that to a customer she told me it was like that every day. I thought "why do you come back?". If I hadn't noticed shift change I would have thought they needed to hire more people. I'm sure day shift can't be that hard to cover anymore. So I assume the economy has everyone cutting back, even though more people are supposedly eating fast food more often than the sit down dinner such as Applebee's. At least that's what the media tells us.

I do realize the economy, but I keep thinking..........there's that one teenager who's gonna be one step closer to a job, because my son wasn't out there more often than he is. I do know he has checked on applications already placed, but to no avail. I guess I should lighten' up?]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:17:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4660&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4660 Teenage Jobs in Middletown? : MadisonMom unemployment in Middletown... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4642&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4642 Author: Pacman

MadisonMom unemployment in Middletown is at almost 11%. Finding a job is Middletown is going to be rough this year for young people.]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2009 09:24:04 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4642&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4642 Teenage Jobs in Middletown? : I would assume the city would... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4641&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4641 Author: MadisonMom

I would assume the city would use convicts or people who need community service hours. Makes sense.

Still no call for my teen. Subway had a sign on the door last week, he put app in that same day. Did not call him. They are training people right now, with the sign still on the door.

He is still putting applications in to various places. Especially those businesses advertising that they're hiring. Yeah, right.

I believe there are so many people out of work, that these businesses are bombarded with applications. Why would you hire someone who's never worked before? I'm sure there are experienced fast food people looking for work as well. Who you gonna call? Look at Kings Island. 7,000 people show up for 4,000 jobs.

Well, our business has picked up, so he will probably be digging post holes in the next few days. ]]> Wed, 04 Mar 2009 09:20:49 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=4641&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#4641 Teenage Jobs in Middletown? : Mike: Don't forget- if there... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=860&PID=3797&title=teenage-jobs-in-middletown#3797 Author: VietVet

Years ago didn't the City hire Seniors as summer help to plant flowers, pick up trash, clean and paint in the parks and other places?

I think that they just hire the ones who are related to council members who are also on the Park Board. But I could be wrong!
