I've had the opposite experience. I left my job in fast food management in 2017 to pursue better options and it ended up being the most expensive mistake of my life. I was making $24/hr. I was self sufficient. I haven't made anywhere near as much since. The grass is always greener on the other side, folks.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

That's because being a manager in a fast-food place means pretty much nothing. My 18 y.o. girlfriend back in the day was the manager where she worked because with two years of experience she had the most seniority. You're competing against people who actually studied management now so take classes or go back in the fast-food business (although it might be too late for that since your experience is 6 years old at that point.,.)
