How the MeToo movement led to McDonald’s CEO’s ouster
, working with RAINN to enhance its discrimination and harassment prevention policy and launching a free, anonymous hotline for employees, for example. , 115 government officials across 31 U.S. states wrote a letter to Easterbrook asking the company to better protect its workers. Some members of Congress wrote similar letters to the company.
McDonald’s is hardly the only quick-service restaurant navigating this issue. A recent study found that working at fast food chains experience sexual harassment at the workplace. But McDonald’s has a very large footprint and therefore attracts a brighter spotlight. The sexual harassment issue is certainly a delicate one for restaurant companies to balance. Since the a couple of years ago, allegations of sexual harassment have taken down some of the biggest names in the space, from Mario Batali to John Besh and Mike Isabella. Repercussions like these have finally forced companies to prioritize their policies and training models.
For McDonald’s, consensual or otherwise, it’s hard to claim real progress is being made if the boss is the one violating the company policy. Perhaps that’s why the company has already scrubbed the nugget about Easterbrook “sparking the evolution of its company culture” from its corporate website, as Chris Kemczinski, president of McDonald’s U.S., has been tapped to takeover Easterbrook’s role. He joined the company in 2015 from Kraft.
