Brace yourself for the tidal wave of support from the masses who are unhappy with the current definition of "McJob" and want change now.
Figures including Sir Digby Jones, former head of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and David Frost, director-general of the British Chamber of commerce, complained that the term was "insulting" and "out of touch".Oh yes, I feel the anger on the streets, seething from this wrong that must be righted before it's too late. Thank goodness there is a "sir" managing this critical campaign, once again proving the value of this truly out of date, out of touch with reality and embarrassing system that should have been left behind a few centuries ago.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED), seen as the definitive guide to the English language, describes a McJob as "an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector."
But Jones, Frost and 13 others said in a letter to the Financial Times that the dictionary should change this "to reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding and offers genuine opportunities for career progression."
