A mum has revealed the cruel comments she received from a friend when she made a career change and took a job at McDonald's. The Mirror reports woman had previously worked in a role related to her degree, but she found she had to widen her net when looking for new opportunities after she was made redundant last year.
She found a role in one of the chain's fast food restaurants with hours that 'fit in perfectly' around her children, and the flexibility is great for her family, as she hopes to start a Master's degree in October. However, one of her friends criticised her decision during a recent catch up.
Explaining what happened in a post to Mumsnet, the parent outlined how she'd struggled to find work after being made redundant during her maternity leave. She wrote: "Unfortunately I couldn't find a job related to my degree and bills were piling up, so I applied for anything I could find, and McDonald's came up. I got the job and am really enjoying it."
