After four years as McDonald’s CEO and president, Steve Easterbrook is out, the company announced on Sunday.
Easterbrook was ousted for allegedly demonstrating “poor judgement” and engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee—violating company policy in the process, according to The Wall Street Journal.
