McDonald’s Chief Executive Fired Over Relationship with Employee

Di you want fries with that sausage?
I guess it's about conflict of interests. I wouldn't have a relationship with a direct report or someone I directly or indirectly report in to. As the Chief Exec, everyone directly or indirectly reports in to you so it can't be avoided and the most important decision maker in the business might end up compromised and causing untold harm. There ain't no way McDonalds are doing this across the board because I had about 4 'encounters' when I worked there!
I know this is a successful forum, but I don't think the Caf is equivalent to a multi-billion dollar corporation!

No this is social media, and as such, way more important than some fast food joint!
Sorry the white text wasn't meant for you (but it looks bad now). I just didn't want to include it but didn't want to delete it either, if that makes sense. I was thinking along the lines that any good relationship is worth going through some trouble

Aside from the fact he resigned, so wasn't dismissed, and also that he would have signed an employment contract that outlined what he fell foul of.
So I don't think the lawyers will be lining up.
This is so much nonsense. Hierarchal systems exist in pretty much every single workplace. Does that mean you simply can’t date someone from your workplace because they work under you? That’s ridiculous.
I’m sure as the CEO he was probably aware of these laws to some extent, but the broader issue is that companies should have no right to tell their employees who they can and can’t be with, once it’s between consenting adults.

Worked in the same building with this douche ffs
How far down the job pyramid does this go? The McDonalds my friends used to work at there was plenty of employees dating each other, including the store manager.
Different at the corporate office where I used to work. Knew a couple both who worked at the office but the husband joined later I believe
Does anyone genuinely believe this sort of stuff anymore? The idea that CEOs are x times smarter than their employees has been disproved time and time again surely?
By all accounts, he was a smart guy. Turned around their business models with good and timely decisions at th corporate level.
Those level of jobs are more about networking than how smart you are. Sending nude photos with your company email is beyond daft.
He probably thought he could get away with it. Must have felt surprised about the accountability.
But a horny one.. It seems that the rules at McD's are quite clear.
Restricting relationships is exactly how Nazi Germany started.
Watford born,expected no different
Ah that's fair enough, did they give any reasoning why employees couldn't have relationships at corporate level?
