“I stop talking to em bc he started calling me pet names bruh, we’re coworkers wtf,” a third commented.

“It’s his fault for catching feelings in only ONE day. I was focusing on my bag sir,” one user wrote.

The creator replied to the comment, about how she would never pursue a coworker, writing, “my mama told me to never shit in my own backyard & i will never [fuck with] one of my coworkers so i feel this.”

McDonald’s has a strict policy regarding relationships in the workforce. The company wants to avoid any conflict and negativity, encouraging employees not to hook up with each other. “Employees who have a direct or indirect reporting relationship to each other are prohibited from dating or having a sexual relationship,” the policy states.
