McDonalds is trying to get a dicionary publisher to change their definitions of 'McJobs'

a term the Oxford English Dictionary describes as “an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector”.

“We believe that it is out of date, out of touch with reality and most importantly it is insulting to those talented, committed, hard-working people who serve the public every day,” wrote David Fairhurst, chief people officer in northern Europe for McDonald’s, in a letter seen by the Financial Times seeking support for the petition. “It’s time the dictionary definition of “McJob” changed to reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding and offers genuine opportunities for career progression and skills that last a lifetime.”


Wow. I didn't realize that. Maybe I should consider making a career change.

Anyways, like it or not McDonalds has spawned a lot of Mc words which they are at least partially respsonsible for since they started using the Mc prefix for a lot of their products. Stop complaining and deal with it.

To their credit, at least their not suing.
