Guess I'll die.
Being serious, the best way would be to rise up the ranks at McDonalds Corporate. I take college classes focusing on Business Management, take on leadership in relevant specialty extracurriculars and work in smaller private sector firms. Most importantly, I network. Is McDonalds Corporate going to be somewhere I can be too? You can be damn sure I'll be there. I'm talking to everybody at McDonalds Corporate. They will know my name and they will know that I plan on becoming a qualified professional that they'd be stupid not to hire. So, I get hired, and at that point it's only a matter of moving up the totem pole, kissing up to the right people, and being the best worker until I become CEO of McDonalds. I begin by making some lucrative decisions that stir up controversy. I'm talking full automation of McDonalds, eliminating tens of millions of jobs, treating animals worse (if possible), cutting costs with ingredients for lower quality, etc. While the Board of Directors is happy, the people aren't, and sales start declining. The Board says I have to do something, so I waste billions of dollars on solutions that they think will work but won't because I make sure they won't. At this point I also close a bunch of locations (It's to cut costs is what I'll say) and continue subtly closing more over time. McDonalds is losing money rapidly. Investors are jumping off left and right. The Board of Directors tries to get rid of me but they can't because I've gotten rid of anyone qualified enough to replace me and I expose them for trying to install a puppet CEO (I've got lots of money). We're one step away from bankruptcy when we're saved by an offer to buy us out.
And just like that, the McDonalds Empire falls, and Ronald McDonald becomes the jester of the
BURGER KING'S Court.
