McDonalds Not Happy About the Word McJobs

This post was published 2 years 7 months 30 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.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.

I worked 3rd shift (11pm – 7am) at a Gas Station in the middle of winter in central Ohio for about 4 months when I was 19 … different McJob …. same lessons learned ;)

Thank you for teaching me a new word, I’m going to start using this around the office.
