McDonalds Not Happy About the Word McJobs

McDonald’s in the U.K. wants the word “McJob” to disappear from the dictionary.

Defined in the Oxford English Dictionary, a “McJob” is “an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, especially one created by the expansion of the service sector.”

A McDonalds spokesperson believes the definition is wrong and wanted to say that McDonalds jobs are “…stimulating, rewarding and offers a wide range of opportunities. All the skills I have learned at McDonald’s will last me a lifetime.”

Of course McDonalds is not happy with the definition, but you have to admit the chance of promotion in a fast food chain is lower then other jobs in the marketplace.

    Are you kiddin, when I was 14 i was promoted from the washroom cleaner/burger maker to fry cook/restraunt mopper in just 2 months and then after 6 months I was on cash and culminated my carreer of a year in drive thru. The only thing I learned from my Mcjob was to bust my ass in school and the real world so I wouldn’t have to do a McJob ever again.
