Do You Want Fries with That? (Patreon)

The other day, I walked into my local McDonald’s and a sign on the door said that they were hiring and that the starting wage was $15 bucks an hour. 

Well, media giant Sinclair has announced that they are also raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour. 

So, whether you are flipping burgers or writing news, you can make the same amount for the job. 

Sinclair says that starting December 29th, the company will increase its minimum wage for hourly workers to $15.

Sinclair says it will impact about 15% of its employees. 

“At Sinclair, we recognize that we would be nothing without our hardworking and dedicated employees,” Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley said. "With this latest change, we hope to make a meaningful impact on the professional and personal lives of so many valuable members of our team.”

Not sure $15 screams “valuable member” but OK. 

One Sinclair employee told FTVLive that this is nothing more than a PR stunt. 

“Good for them but most of the other 85% have not seen raises in years,” the Sinclair staffer said to FTVLive. 

Then again, it might be better than having to say, “Do you want fries with that?”

Just saying….
