"ew, burger flipping?" Some elitism going on with this post.

This isn't a list of random places - it's literally the best places to work in the country. Have you ever known anyone who works at In-n-Out? I've known 3 and they all loved working there. They were treated like adults, not teenagers or kids. And they were compensated far better than any other food industry job a grad can get after graduating.

Work is work, give them some respect.

Pretty sure the issue is a college graduate with degrees working anywhere in retail or restaurants as the best thing they could hope for.

Eh, nothing wrong working on a field other than what you studied

Bro what?? In N Out burger is one of the best employers in the nation and are repeatedly recognized for their absurdly rare good treatment of employees. They're one of the only businesses in that industry that focus on employee retention and career growth.

You really out here bashing the guy living his best life, making ends meet with minimal effort and maximum efficiency, under one of the best employers in the US, just because burger flipping "isn't a skill and can teach nothing".

Take a step back and realize it the other way around. A burger chain is the SECOND BEST EMPLOYER by study of 400 companies, likely including many of the fortune 500. The issue isn't that it's a burger place, that in and of itself really shows how dystopian how the rest of the pool is. It's not in spite of In-N-Out, it's In-N-Out showing what employment should mean. If a burger chain can do it.. why can't... everyone?

I agree with the sentiment, and understand completely what you're trying to say. But I digress, because the lack of logic in this sorry excuse for an argument has to be dealt with.

So along with insulting me by assuming that I didn't click on the link and was unable to figure out that In-N-Out was in the second position in that list, you are also trying to imply that the a burger place doesn't belong on a list of 400 companies that are good to work for, simply because it's a burger join. Simultaneously we must assume that being a burger joint is irrelevant, while ending the statement with the implication being that anyone can be a good employer if a lowly burger joint can figure it out.

Is the argument that a business built around the production and sale of hamburgers appearing on a list of good companies is a bad thing? Cuz that's what the words say, it I don't think that's what you are trying to communicate.
