In an announcement that was made by the McDonald’s, they confirmed that a McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer has been removed from the company after he was found violating the company policy by engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee.

On November 1, 2019, the board of directors of McDonald’s decided to remove Easterbrook from the company.

An official statement about the separation of Easterbrook with the company will be released on November 4, 2019, during a federal filing.

Any information about the employee that was in a relationship with the CEO was not shared with the public.
