A pervasive and deeply troubling pattern of sexual harassment and abuse has emerged within McDonald’s, painting a disturbing picture of a workplace culture where vulnerable young employees are routinely subjected to inappropriate behavior. Hundreds of current and former employees, many of whom were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents, have come forward with accusations ranging from unwanted touching and suggestive comments to outright propositions for sex in exchange for work shifts. These accounts paint a picture of a system where predatory behavior is not only tolerated but, in some cases, seemingly encouraged, with older male staff allegedly placing bets on who could sleep with new hires and managers turning a blind eye to complaints.
