Recently, a tiktoker stirred the pot by claiming that a northern California In-N-Out Burger outlet was offering jobs at a staggering rate of $30 an hour.
The claim was accompanied by a video that purportedly “proves” it, showcasing nearly a dozen workers behind the counter at the said location. The video ignited a debate on the claim’s veracity.
The Reality Check
Despite the widespread attention and discussions it has sparked, a considerable number of viewers maintain a skeptical stance towards the claims made in the video.
A more meticulous investigation into the matter unveils that although there are indeed vacancies for store associate positions at the mentioned location, the hourly wage stands at $20, contrary to the $30 that was claimed in the video.
Furthermore, an astute user took the proactive step of researching various job boards in the northern California region to verify the authenticity of the claims. Their findings revealed that the maximum compensation offered for similar associate level positions in the area is capped at $24.00 per hour, not reaching the alleged $30.
This discrepancy in the reported and actual pay rates has led to a growing skepticism among the audience, urging them to seek out more reliable and accurate information before accepting the claims at face value.
Data Suggests
In the ongoing discussion regarding wage rates at different job positions, Mike holds a firm stance that the rate of $30 an hour is typically designated for those holding managerial positions.
This perspective is somewhat corroborated by statistical data available on Glassdoor, a well-known platform for job listings and company reviews.
According to the data from Glassdoor, the estimated total pay for an In-N-Out manager in the Sebastopol area is approximately $66,510 per year, with an average base salary of about $50,436 per year.
This total pay estimate includes additional pay components such as cash bonuses, commissions, tips, and profit sharing, which could amount to around $16,074 per year. The “Most Likely Range” for the total pay (base + additional) is between $55,000 and $81,000 per year.
However, a search on Indeed did not reveal any open managerial positions at the time, and it was noted that all employees at In-N-Out start at the entry level.
Viewers’ Reactions
The video has elicited a variety of reactions from viewers, with some pointing out the apparent lack of activity among the workers shown in the clip.
Comments such as “half of them look like they don’t know what to do” and “you can’t afford to pay that many workers $30 an hour” highlight the claim’s skepticism.
Other viewers believed the claim. One user said,
“I give it to them one of the only fast food places that I see them work hard and always moving fast.”
Another one added, “why Y’all hating….business is Good.”
