McDonald's India X Account Posts and Deletes Intern's Unpaid Salary Claims
McDonald's India's official X account briefly posted claims from an individual identifying as an intern alleging unpaid salary since December 2025 and naming a supervisor, Amit Joshi. The posts, which included details of the intern managing multiple Asian accounts and taking additional jobs due to financial strain, were later deleted. The intern also mentioned losses from memecoin trading and sought community support. The authenticity of these claims remains unverified, and McDonald's India has not issued an official response.
