McDonald's fired Mr. Easterbrook in November last year, after it became known about his relationship with one of his subordinates. An internal investigation was conducted prior to this, but no other sexual relations between Mr. Easterbrook and employees were known at the time.
The corporation states that while the first case involved, at least according to Mr. Easterbrook, a short-term relationship in which it didn’t come to sex; the other cases were about sexual relationships. McDonald’s says the former CEO lied about this, and if the company knew about the extent of his "inappropriate personal behavior", he would be fired for these violations, not by agreement, as it was eventually done.
In this regard, McDonald’s demands that Mr. Easterbrook return of millions of dollars that were paid to him when he left the company. According to Equilar, a company specializing in the analysis of salaries and bonuses for top managers, Mr. Easterbrook received a total of about $ 42 million when he left McDonald's.
