JobsinTown.de Dispensing with McJobs
jobsintown.de, a German job search site, has been appearing on a range of dispensers in a series of campaigns designned at Scholz & Friends Berlin over three years. “Life’s too short for the wrong job!”, is the tag line in each installation. Each of these occupations is a McJob, a term coined by sociologist Amitai Etzioni in a Washington Post article in 1986 and popularized by Douglas Coupland in his 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture. Coupland describes the McJob as “a low-pay, low-prestige, low-dignity, low benefit, no-future job in the service sector.
