McDonald’s CEO sacked over relationship with employee

McDonald’s chief executive officer has left the company after
violating company policy by engaging in a consensual relationship with
an employee, the corporation said Sunday.
The fast food giant said former president and CEO Steve Easterbrook
demonstrated poor judgment. McDonald’s forbids managers from having
romantic relationships with direct or indirect reports.
In an email to employees, Easterbrook acknowledged he had a relationship with an employee and said it was a mistake.
“Given the values of the company, I agree with the board that it is time for me to move on,” Easterbrook said in the email.
McDonald’s board of directors voted on Easterbrook’s departure Friday
after conducting a thorough review. Details of Easterbrook’s separation
package will be released Monday in a federal filing, according to a
company spokesperson.
The board of directors named Chris Kempczinski, who recently served
as president of McDonald’s USA, as its new president and CEO.
