McDonald's CEO was pushed out in 2019 with a $40 million golden parachute. The golden arches is suing to get it back, saying says he had sexual relationships with at least three employees in the year before he was fired, and gave one a big chunk of stock.

The company says it has learned that Easterbrook had sexual relationships with at least three McDonald's employees in the year before he was fired — and even"approved an extraordinary stock grant, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars" for one of them. The legal documents accuse Easterbrook of erasing evidence of these relationships from his phone and telling investigators at the time"deliberate falsehoods.

"Easterbrook's silence and lies — a clear breach of the duty of candor — were calculated to induce the Company to separate him on terms much more favorable to him than those the Company would have offered and agreed to had it known the full truth of his behavior," the company says in the legal complaint.

This is an unusually public airing of damning details from an internal investigation by a fairly conventional American corporation.— including six months of severance pay, shares and other equity — drew much attention and criticism last year. Workers at the time pointed out that his pay in 2018 was 2,124 times more than the median income of a McDonald's employee.

What’s that thing on his head?

Oh...say it ain't so.....

Nooooooooo. You mean he hid sexual relationships, just like trump did.....oh, the horror and shock......we should expect more from our........Oh, never mind.......no wonder........

It goes to show that MacDonald can't distinguish between business and pleasure. The ex-CEO took the cash which was offered to him, as a pleasure, which was seemingly a seduction to get him to resign. Mac seems to be claiming that they were seduced, raped!!!

You guys absolutely need to hire a competent editor Feels like ive seen at least one typo'd article summary per day recently

I'm shocked that McDonald's would award such a position to a Romulan, earth's sworn enemy.

Other executives will see this as unfair. The executive code is self protection & promotion of the executive class. Too much is never enough in their compensation package and personal freedoms w/o oversite. nytpolitics washingtonpost BillKristol RWPUSA RBReich maddow

Get it? Golden parachute? Golden arches?

Ahh fuck McDonalds

Well, since there are no jobs and only those with stocks seem to survive, why the hell not. At this point who cares, money is money 🤷

What the hell is Dracula doing out in daylight?

It's all in the new book The Golden Urges.

McWTF?

can we just begin with $40 MILLION for leaving a job as being wrong and go on from there?

No!! Say it ain’t so!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How dare they go after his golden parachute! Do you have any idea how many burgers he served to get that?!?!

But, but, but, I thought if you had a fancy title and an overblown salary made on the backs of underpaid workers and customers, you were immune from ethical rules, common decency, and responsibility. No?

What is McDonald's famous phrase and ad campaign? 'I'm lovin it' PoundMeToo

NPR, now do a report on Congressional settlements.

Wow $40 million what is wrong with US corporations?

In what world does a fast food CEO earn a $40 million golden parachute? Or salary for that matter?

Fire those women too. How unprofessional.

Is he wearing a toupee?

Do ya think it might be time we had more female leaders?🧐

Almost like rewarding already-rich CEOs with tens of millions of dollars regardless of what they do is like, I dunno, a terrible fucking idea ?_?

Can you imagine the price of a hamberder if they gave people a living wage? And this guy would only get a measly $30 million for getting fired.

holy christ what is that thing on top of his head?!?

Lots of big CEO's are involved with sex crimes. However, they get to escape the laws of the common man because of their position and title. This guy couldn't be blackmailed so, here we are.

When Reagan was president, CEO pay was ~30 time median employee pay - McDonald's CEO, pushed out in '19 w/$40M golden parachute. Golden arches suing for $$ return, says he was a sex predator His '18 pay was 2,124X more than the median income of an employee

$40 million and THAT's the hairpiece he bought?

I thought my Mcmuffin tasted funny.

Exciting, some office workers screwing each other 🤷‍♂️🤮

Wow, he couldn’t find someone outside of McDonalds?

He was giving staff his McRibbings

Are there NO decent men in this world?

I thought the point was (and it's a super bad point) that they get that no matter what the f*** happened. Cuz it's a golden parachute. You know like the Golden ticket in Willy Wonka except for in real life it's for greedy self-centered douchebags.

McDonalds. Who’s on 1st? McMillions, now this. BK better flame broiled burger.

_Lizeee 👀

$40 million?

They should take back that toupee, too. As a service to the world.

Hindsight is 20/20. No take backs, suckers!

They don’t give a fat shit about the relationships. It’s always about the money. The rest is garnish to them.

Who's sitting there writing these tweets, a fucking 5th grader with a half melted popsicle and sticky fingers? Wtf is 'saying says...'?

McDonalds shouldn't get that back, that's the price you pay for not paying your employees S&% and giving a crap ton of money to some schlup who looks good on paper.

The very honey CEO.

He should do the Chewbacca defense. Or this old classic:

*cue the McLovin It puns*

Cheeky last sentence there

Isn't that a job requirement

But McDonald's expects us to by kid's meals from them!? My goodness, I'll be taking my business elsewhere! Luby's Cafeteria!

Special sauce!

please spellcheck your tweets...

The Golden Arches aren’t so shiny now are they.

Let's have a big beautiful blue tsunami this November! That means a straight Democratic ticket. No Republicans, no third parties. Now go thou and vote. And volunteer. And donate money. Biden2020
