On September 6, 2026, McDonald's India experienced an unexpected surge on their verified X (formerly Twitter) account. A series of posts, attributed to an intern, surfaced detailing personal grievances such as unpaid wages, financial hardship, and a call for community support. Screenshots of these posts circulated widely on social media, igniting speculation and debate.
The intern claimed to work for McDonald's India, citing a boss named Amit Joshi, a figure not recognized in the company's official leadership. The intern alleged non-payment since December 2025 and an outstanding amount of over ₹60,000 (around $650). They also mentioned taking on additional jobs in support and delivery roles, managing McDonald's Asian accounts, and trading memecoins, leading to financial losses and persistent hunger.
McDonald's India swiftly responded with a lighthearted post dismissing the allegations as false, but left the origin of the posts unverified. The authenticity of the intern's claims, the unpaid wages, and the identity of Amit Joshi remain unconfirmed. Possible explanations range from a hacked account to a viral marketing scheme.
As of now, McDonald's India has not issued a statement clarifying the situation, leaving the incident an open mystery in their digital history.
