The McDonald’s social media manager ignited a conversation on Twitter Friday, gathering people who run brand social accounts to vent and talk about mental health.

Here’s how it all went down.

First, McDonald’s tweeted: it’s always “when is the McRib coming back” and never “how are you doing person who runs the McDonald’s account.”

 Then the responses started pouring in.

Starting a social media manager support group lmk if you want to join

Grubhub

Our DMs are full of “you sent me utensils for 4 but I ordered for one” but never “how was your day Grubhub?” and you know what, it hurts.

HBO

I’ve never felt more seen. Like, I don’t know when House of the Dragon is premiering.

We feel you… it’s always “when will IBM make computers again” never “how’s it going social media person”

OREO

We hear you… everyone just wants to know when the Cakester is coming back
