From the, "funny, but so appropriate" department, McDonald's is freaking out because "McJob" has been officially added to the Webster's Dictionary as "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement". The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, especially one created by the expansion of the service sector".

McDonald's is lobbying to change the definition to: "reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding … and offers skills that last a lifetime"
