One McJob, hold the slap in the face
Posted by at 1:55 PM

Taking one out of the unfair and unbalanced handbook, McDonalds recently took issue with the latest edition of the Springfield-based Merriam-Webster Dictionary , for adding a new term to the common lexicon: "McJob" which has been defined as "low paying and dead-end work."

In an open letter to Merriam-Webster, McDonald's CEO Jim Cantalupo said the term is "an inaccurate description of restaurant employment" and "a slap in the face to the 12 million men and women" who work in the restaurant industry.
