That’s just because it’s dried out. Keep it wet and there’s gonna be mold and decomposition. The main preservative at play here is salt. Also used to work at McDonald’s. There was a burger inside of a bag that fell behind the safe that looked pretty normal even though when I found it it was like 10 years old. Was still crazy but I wasn’t surprised though for this reason
I’m an American working in the u.s. for a company based in Germany. They have soooo many more days off than us. They’re out at least 3 months of the year before taking additional PTO. They like to bring their European values of work to the u s. But unfortunately that doesn’t mean that I get any more off time. I save all year from January to December and if I never took any of it my PTO amounts to 3 weeks. If you’re an American they have different standards for you because american work culture means getting fucked and hating your life lol.
That being said I still feel like the days I get are generous and I am happy and grateful. But that’s only because I used to get nothing at my old job. It’s only crappy if I compare to others which is the thief of joy and whatnot.
