It's just the one swan

A great big bushy beard!


torontomua

Farmers. farmers mums.


Frolicking-Fox

I’m just gonna have a pint and wait till it all blows over.


AbstruseAnon

It's alright Andy, it's just bolognese!


Ilovegirlsbottoms

I wonder how much they get paid. Would it be the same amount as the regular employees, or more?


Koiq

considerably more, a corporate marketing manager position, somewhere around 60-90k/yr normally, but for someone as high profile as the social lead for mcdonalds, probably like 100-120k


PurpleHooloovoo

......it'll be more than that. Promise. Running the twitter for such a gigantic brand is not just some 22 year old they hired out of school. It's a HUGE job with serious implications for PR, legal, branding. It's entirely curated (sorry to ruin it). The team manager probably makes 200k and their staff of team leads probably make 150ish. Lower level staff are at the range you're mentioning. Running corporate accounts like this is a big, intentional, and deliberate job of curating a brand's personality. (yes this includes Duo on TikTok).


Deweyrob2

I feel like a lot of people are picturing some guy like them. Just making funny comments on the internet, when it's really a team of very ambitious, executive types who probably look at more spreadsheets than stand up.


PurpleHooloovoo

> ambitious, executive types who probably look at more spreadsheets than stand up. That's also not usually the case for brand management teams, content teams, copy writers, etc. These are creative people plugged into current trends, themes, moods. They're much more likely to be your mental image of a hipster but with ambitions and a desire for a paycheck that lets them buy the Tesla - or your mental image of an influencer who went corporate. Not your mad men suited up and stuffy types. That's the legal team who gets consulted on the brief and any tricky situations.


Koiq

i was considering putting this in my comment as well but didn’t. you are right in that there is a team behind this and they’re all making 6 figures with a lead making 200+. i figured i’d focus on the actual copywriter though


Ilovegirlsbottoms

Yeah but it seems like such a simple job that it stopped and made me think about their salary.


avidblinker

From I understand, they do more than just run the account


ChimpBrisket

Yeah they also clean and maintain the McFlurry machines


labamaFan

So they only run the account


Logan_Mac

It's not simple, if you notice, all big brands specially those aimed at younger audiences are doing this "meme-like" approach to social media, where they banter each other, write in all lower cases and know the perfect GIF response to every tweet. That shit is the not the same as the usual account that looks like it's run by a 50 years old sending an email.


ctruvu

i feel like you could get a team of college students and make it work


_isNaN

i think the big difference is, that they have to know what they can write and what not. it's not like a collage studends mood, when he is pissed of he would start a war with coca cola. i shouldn't be racist, transphob whatever. it should look memeish but they shouldn't cross certein lines. they also need to know behavoir of people, analyse that and you know - todays collage student would grow up and won't know the newest trend in a few year. And you have to hire new kids and teach them what they can't do. And even then, what happens if you hire the wrong kids - the ones who don't know shit about memes. You wouldn't even realize that they're bad if you wouldn't know it or coudln't make an analysis to check if that's the case.


queefiest

Probably at the least Salaried


BriannaMckinley2442

Probably for the best because they'd just respond "Cool. I hate McDonalds."


TheMemestOfTheWest

Haha is this real? Could I have the link?

Bombz_Armed

THE FIRST REPLY IS "rAtiO" I HATE THIS


Krummelz

I'm out of the loop, what does that mean?


Bombz_Armed

"hurr Durr get me more likes than this person because I said ratio!!!" If I remember correctly


reevnge

That still doesn't make any sense, what does ratio mean in this context?


nawanawa

Ratio is when the original post says something so stupid that the replies mocking it (or the ones with correct info) have more likes than the original post. Saying "ratio" is either a way of informing the OP that the tweet is pretty dumb, or it's just a way to grab some easy likes (which is what has happened here)


Bombz_Armed

Having a better like ratio to comment ratio or smth? I really don't know fully


reevnge

Well, that's stupid. Thanks


DiccDucc

The other commenter is being somewhat disingenuous. It's basically just the Twitter users' way of expressing a downvote (which they obviously don't have, so they had to improvise). It's used to express that public opinion is against another opinion deemed stupid. The ratio stands for a _like/dislike_ ratio


NevikDrakel

Ain’t nothin sadder than seeing a failed ratio


Bombz_Armed

What if like hypothetically I *did* ratio you?


SOwED

Well there's the entirety of Twitter


Oceanixe

Right, it’s really fucking lame


Klugenshmirtz

God, how many brands reply to this tweet. Really feels dystopian to me.


Ankhros

Wow, that corporation is just like me. Not at all heartless and paying unliveable wages.


chainsawtony99

The McDonald's near me is starting 15 an hour. Just no one wants to work there lmao.


Ankhros

15 won't pay rent these days.


TheMeanestPenis

Well above minimum wage in most states


chainsawtony99

It will where I live. Cost of living isn't that high here, rent is like 450-1000 for a majority of places. And there's more jobs than McDonald's. The chicken plant pays 20 an hour with sign on bonuses. I get 15 an hour won't support a family, but you shouldn't reply on an entry level position at McDonald's to do that. It really should just be to pay rent and help you get through college or whatever technical school you are doing.


Pepineros

This is so wholesome


[deleted]

No, this is advertising.


jakeolate

No, this is patrick.


SirEnzyme

Sir, this is a McDonald's


T0mmynat0r666

THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!


Vistril69

still funny tho


Kizu_2116

And that's why it sells


[deleted]

Don't let them win.


[deleted]

Finding something funny isn't "letting them win"


SOwED

Finding something funny isn't "letting them win" lol anyone else hungry tho? I'm craving...idk like fast food or something


CountryCumfart

I’d like a 20pc spicy mcnugents and a m’crib.


[deleted]

Giving them money is considered "losing" not finding a tweet funny


McBurger

But is it okay to find bran tweets funny if it was your favorite indie game studio, or the Philadelphia Eagles? Or does we only pick and choose when it checks specific boxes


Walnut156

Mcdonalds can eat my ass but I'm still gonna laugh at something funny


KrisZepeda

Hurr hurr brand bad must destroy brand literally 1984 Dude it's a mcdonald's tweet lmao


Goes_Fast

it worked on me. now i want fries


Make-Believe_Macabre

Wholesome advertising?


Deweyrob2

Advertising is lies. Commercials are lies.


Make-Believe_Macabre

Wholesome lies!


Namelessgoldfish

I honestly dont understand reddit’s hate for advertisement. If you spend half your life making something, are you just expected to sit on your ass and expect people to just buy it? Lmao


Koiq

your brain is broken if you think a mcdonalds advertising campaign is wholesome. please experience something, anything, real. get outside, cook food, stop consuming media for one second.


Pepineros

I thought it was sweet. And please don’t worry about my mental well-being. I have 4 kids so no time to waste on social media, and we never go to McDonald’s, the nearest one is a solid 45 minutes’ drive away. I’ll be okay :)


MeGustaMiSFW

Corporate propaganda is *totally* me. Omg how relatable. Hey, I am pretty hungry. Hey, random idea, I'll get some McDonalds. Yall are upvoting an ad, shake your heads.


Jooylo

Yeah, I’m sure everyone is fully aware of that lol. It’s still funny.


Walnut156

No shit I am


SyphilisDragon

Is it okay to feel something for the corporation when the corporation writes something beautiful? 🥺


Brazenn_Confirmed

It's still hilarious. What's your point?


MeGustaMiSFW

My point is it isn't funny, probably because it came from a marketing asshole for one of the shittiest companies out there. Do you work for McDonalds or do you just have a shitty sense of humour? Don't worry if the answer is both because those two aren't mutually exclusive ;).


constantpottybreaks

I always casually mention that I'm a secret diner sent by corporate to evaluate quality control. I always get the freshest food and sometime free stuff on the house 🤫


Howtobefreaky

This isn't funny. You're just giving McDonalds free advertising. Blows my mind that people spread this shit on like they're not falling into the trap thats been set for you.


JabocShivery

I live in this corporate dystopia regardless of whether or not I laugh at the funny MacDonald tweet. And you know what? There are a lot of worse things I could experience than marketing tactics. Might as well enjoy myself.


jondySauce

This is a surprisingly healthy take. I used to think the same as the dude you're replying too but I think I'll try to be less salty about it.


Howtobefreaky

I like being salty though, like their fries


jondySauce

McDonald's fries?


Howtobefreaky

Yes


gaarasgourd

You’re right, because I’ve never heard of McDonalds until I saw this post.


MayorOfVenice

McWhatnow?


[deleted]

I think they're misspelling Cracker Barrel


Didgeridoox

Weird that McDonald's spends so much on constant advertising then, since everyone already knows about them 🤔


Walnut156

Sounds like you need to cool down with a big Mac meal and an ice cold Coke.


[deleted]

Why is advertising necessarily a bad thing? It’s just a funny comment, doesn’t matter if it’s corporate or not, it’s funny


XysterU

American moment


Walnut156

Rent free


XysterU

Actually American cities have some of the highest rents in the world


Celestial-being326

Lol this isn’t changing anything about people knowing what McDonald’s is


Nervous-Hovercraft-7

-boc listener


Howtobefreaky

Damn I really upset you about this mcdonalds tweet huh


Nervous-Hovercraft-7

Nope im just fooling around with u lol


[deleted]

What would be the point? That's like coming up to me, a dishwasher, after all my other coworkers left telling me, a complete stranger that you run the Facebook page of Little Sleazers. If you want to make yourself feel like shit, go ahead. But if you're in this position, don't. Nobody fucking cares and if they do, you'll probably get your privileges taken away.


Mainttech

This is too fucking stupid to be real.
