Easterbrook is silent
Now it comes out: During his four years at McDonald’s, Easterbrook had not just one, but several affairs at work – and that’s why he is now facing a lawsuit. The complaint published on Monday shows that he also had other relationships with the company and lied about them.

Did an ex-Easterbrook whistle?
The lawsuit was apparently triggered by an anonymous tip. The investigation that was then initiated revealed, among other things, that a share package worth several hundred thousand dollars had been approved for one or one of the employees of Easterbrook during the relationship, McDonald’s explains. Easterbrook initially did not comment on the lawsuit on Monday.
