MCDONALD'S IS SUING THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY

The McDonald's restaurant chain has filed a lawsuit against Steve Easterbrook, the former CEO and president of the company. McDonald's demands that Easterbrook should be found guilty of lying and withholding of data on the violation of the work ethics.

Based on the company's claim, we are talking about the relationship of the former CEO with one of the employees. The statement contains newly revealed information about Easterbrook's inappropriate behavior, which goes "against the company's values." Now the company is demanding to oblige Easterbrook to return the compensation he received when he was leaving his position.

The Board of Directors made a decision regarding Easterbrook in November 2019.

In the statement of claim, the McDonald's side stated that the new information suggested that the former head of the company had lied and destroyed the evidence of some personal relationship.

When leaving McDonald's, Easterbrook received $ 675,000 in compensation. In addition, he has a stake in the company, which is estimated at $ 37 million. We should note that the McDonald's policy prohibits personal relationship with the employees.
