i was a dethroned dotcom ceo that went to work the counter at mcdonald's

Scott Heiferman, a former dotcom CEO, took a counter job at a Manhattan McDonald's in October 2000 to get back in touch with the real world and experience a large, well-run company. He reports that at $5.75 an hour, a full-time schedule would yield about $11,960 a year before taxes, and that he gained respect for low-paid workers after a six-hour shift earned him about $30. He also describes his co-workers as rude to customers, says nobody at the store thanked him, and writes that his experience taught him the value of employee appreciation.
