McDonald's McAngst over McJob in the Dictionary
BBC NEWS | Americas | McDonald's anger over McJob entry
McAngst: a misplaced and shallow focus of concern over a regretable situation.
McDonald's is upset that their "low prestige, low dignity, low-benefit, no future jobs" have inspired a neologism spoken enough to be printed in a collegiate dictionary, but they're not so upset that they're going to McDo anything about the actual jobs. That might affect the McBottom Line. No, they're just hoping to make the citation McAmScray.
Don't we deserve a McFreaking Break, already?
McPS: McDonald's letter deploring the dictionary citation cites some statistics that they believe to support their McCase.
Over a thousand people have moved up from the McJobs to management, which goes to show that the McJobs aren't dead-end. But then the letter states that the establishment has 12 million current employees, which when combined with past employees, must dwarf that "over a thousand" figure by five or six orders of magnitude.
Evidently, when looking at a empty glass with a water stain, McDonald's believes the glass to be McFull.
