Gis a MacJob!
Newsnight on the BBC have been talking about “Gis a McJob“. My thoughts are that, the editors of the O.E.D. (Oxford English Dictionary) flatly refuse to remove the McJob from their brilliant compilation – rightly so. Just because people don’t like the word doesn’t mean it should be taken out of the most reliable reference book of our language. The majority of people don’t like the ‘F’ word, unfortunately it is in use so it stays. If we don’t like the noun, McJob, then come on McDonald’s make it redundant like ‘wheelwright’.
Really good management can make any job fulfilling and rewarding, and even more importantly a career opportunity. There is nothing wrong with the job, it is what the management do that makes it a McJob.
The best investment any company can make is to train their managers in leadership. Yes, we have a vested interested, but we see the outstanding results of just a little investment.
