Two vulnerabilities in an internal API allowed unauthorized access to contacts and chats, exposing the information of 64 million McDonald’s applicants.
In the face of objections from McDonald’s, the term “McJob” was added to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary in 2003. In an open letter to Merriam-Webster, McDonald’s CEO, James Cantalupo denounced the definition as a “slap in the face” to all restaurant employees, and stated that “a more appropriate definition of a ‘McJob’ might be ‘teaches responsibility’”. Merriam-Webster responded that “[they stood] by the accuracy and appropriateness of [their] definition.”
On 20 March 2007, the BBC reported that the UK arm of McDonald’s planned a public petition to have the OED’s definition of “McJob” changed. Lorraine Homer from McDonald’s stated that the company feels the definition is “out of date and inaccurate”.
No Lorraine Homer, it is not “out of date and inaccurate”.
It’s fuckin evergreen is what it is.
