Accusations and claims reveal that McDonald's is not the kind of company that always takes care of its employees, who work long hours keeping things as smooth as possible. In 2013, Washington Post reported that the brand was called out for its budget worksheet, including the $20 for healthcare and $0 for heat. Simultaneously, the fast-food giant made the mistake of believing many of its employees were balancing other jobs and roles that could be or could not be the case.
