Any menial, low-paying, unskilled, dead-end job, including (but not limited to) those in the fast food industry, which requires zero creative or intellectual involvement, and whose sole motivation is a paycheck (i.e., no one works a McJob because they like it or care about the work). The employee may also be required to wear a silly and degrading uniform. Examples outside of the food service industry include Wal-Mart greeter and movie ticket clerk. McJobs are usually filled by teenagers, bored retired people looking for something to do, retards, and struggling single parents in need of a second income. Turnover is high, but because practically anyone has the skills necessary to perform a McJob, the company can just hire more interchangeable McEmployees off the streets. The term's allusion to mass-produced fast food implies both the mechanical, unfulfilling nature of the work, and the disposable, interchangeable manner in which the company treats its employees.

McJob, término acuñado por vez primera en la novela Generación X de Douglas Coupland (corran a comprarla a la Gandhi más cercana... mamá si estás leyendo esto el libro está en la caja con mis otros libros). Al regresar de Saint Jacut, con el firme propósito de encontrar un trabajo y ganarme la vida en Londres, hace unos días fui a Pret-a-Manger, una franquicia de McDonalds que vende sandwiches y ensaladas al precio promedio de 3-5 pounds. Sin siquiera mirar mi cv (a pero qué iluso sigo siendo), me entrevistaron en la plataforma 2 de la estación de trenes Victoria.
Regresando al término McJob, pues la empresa multinacional esta luchando contra la definición del término, pues resulta que "it is insulting to those talented, committed, hard-working people who serve the public every day.”
Al menos a mi no me esta insultando. Me fue mal en la entrevista (a lo mejor tengo un perfil demasiado corporativo-aspiracional-oficinista de hueva : S ). ¿No que cualquiera puede realizar el trabajo *uleros?
Creo que no debo seguir esperando su llamada.
