Also, what skills does a fast food chain need?
You can get rejected if you’re not child labour. They want their workers cheap and children are cheap.
KFC uses commercial pressure cookers. You can blow up a kitchen if you aren’t careful around those things. Fast food doesn’t look like it requires skills because they have managed to bring an assembly line to the kitchen. It does require a certain amount of spatial awareness, and the ability to switch tasks rapidly.
I wish brands would stop trying to be funny
On social media? Fine, whatever. In rejection emails? …that’s not really something you get and have a laugh at.
I understand your take. I feel like “professionalism” at all is just a lie we tell ourselves, and I don’t personally value the overall purpose of it.
I’d prefer people have fun at work.
Oh I like people having fun at work as well, what I don’t like is corporate communications trying to weirdly mimic people having fun at work. Maybe I’m just too cynical, but I often find these jokey comms to be souless and artificial and almost never feel like they’re genuinely having fun
That’s not how a professional company rejects an applicant. Judging by this grammarless email (and this email alone), it sounds like you may have dodged a bullet. I am sorry that you’ve been rejected, though. That’s never a fun experience, and their lack of compassion in their “cute” (but actually rather insulting) email is incomprehensible. Just because they didn’t see you a a secret recipe, doesn’t mean you’re not. KFC has gone down hill more than almost any other chain in terms of flavor and quality, and their email here is a testament to their decision-making skills they seem to still be lacking.
E: autocorrect and my own mistakes.
If I got something like this after applying to a fast food place there’s a non-zero chance I kill myself.
Wtf do you mean I don’t have the skills? What skills?
KFC in particular uses commercial pressure cookers, or at least they originally did I haven’t worked there since before they were called KFC. Those things are dangerous, and if you didn’t appear to have a decent amount of spatial awareness, I wouldn’t hire you at my store, cause an accident with one of those pressure cookers could end in an explosion.
Things might have changed since the 90s, however I worked at multiple KFCs and the intelligence level of the people they hired to run these things was pretty damn low. In fact, at one store most of the cooks were stoned every single shift. Nobody got seriously hurt.
I mean… Getting stoned is arguably better than my experience with fine dining where almost everyone was either stoned and drunk, or on meth… Except for dishie. That dude had EVERYTHING available. He was kinda like Dopey from The 7 Dwarves. Always had an arm out and a leg up to try new drugs. I will admit that dishie was always a reliable source for LSD and X, so there is that going for the madlad.
