(FR) Just got hired and I feel terribly stressed.
Hey everyone! So as the title said, I just got hired at a McDonald's in France and I start on August 25th. Honestly, I'm super stressed about it.
I checked reviews on Google, Indeed, and TripAdvisor for my location, and people were saying the vibe is really bad: managers shouting during rush hours, a super strict director, and high turnover. Reading ex-employees say the atmosphere is toxic is totally freaking me out. On top of that, I’m really worried about how I’m going to memorize all the orders, recipes, and fast-paced instructions while everything is moving so quickly around me.
Since it's my first time working EVER, I'd love to get some advice:
How do you deal with rush hour stress when managers start yelling or getting rude?
Are bad reviews on Indeed/Google actually true, or is it just angry ex-staff exaggerating?
What should I expect from my first few days and training?
How do you manage to memorize recipes and fast-paced instructions when you're brand new?
Any tips to survive the first weeks and not take the pressure personally?
I'm sorry if I come across as weird, it's my first job and I really don't know what to do.. Thanks a lot for any tips or engagement!
