Shareholders Sue McDonald's For Allowing Ex-CEO To Keep $40 Million Severance Package
McDonald's institutional shareholders have McF**king had it with generous payouts to executives forced out over improper conduct.
More than two years since firing CEO Steve Easterbrook over an inappropriate relationship he had with a subordinate, McDonald's is now facing a lawsuit from a group of shareholders - including at least one major union pension funds - who believe Easterbrook should reimburse the company for the legal fees it spent trying to oust him.
Easterbrook was fired in 2019 after four years in the top job where he won praise for innovations like all-day breakfast and other initiatives that supposedly bolstered sales.

Fired McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook is forced to pay back $105 million in severance over claims that he lied about affairs with employees
Former McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook will return his severance pay - a figure estimated to be around $105 million - to his former employer to settle a lengthy lawsuit over his sexual relationships with employees.
"Last year, McDonald's filed an unprecedented lawsuit against Steve Easterbrook, our former CEO, to hold him accountable for his lies and misconduct, including the way in which he exploited his position as CEO," McDonald's chairman Rick Hernandez said on Thursday in a message sent out to McDonald's franchisees, company employees, and suppliers.
Hernandez expressed gratitude to an employee who "had the courage to speak up" about Easterbrook's misconduct.
"Steve has returned equity awards and cash that he would have forfeited had he been truthful at the time of his termination and, as a result, been terminated for cause," he wrote. "While Steve's misconduct need not be forgiven by any member of this community, he has apologized to his former co-workers, franchisees, suppliers, and the Board for the profound errors he made."
CNBC's Amelia Lucas firt reported on the results of the fast food chain's battle against its ex-chief officer.
Easterbrook lost the top job at McDonald's back in 2019 after the company found he "violated company policy and demonstrated poor judgment" involving a "consensual relationship" with an employee. At the time, investigators discovered that Easterbrook exchanged sexual texts and photos with a female employee. The fast food giant lost $4 billion in value in the wake of the scandal, as well as its chief people officer David Fairhurst.
Questions about Easterbrook's severance arose early on. The ex-CEO was eligible for a minimum of $702,255 in severance. He ended up receiving around $105 million.
But by August 2020, the conflict between McDonald's and its former leader heated up once more. The restaurant chain sued Easterbrook over allegations that he covered up sexual relationships with at least three McDonald's employees. Insider's Kate Taylor reported that Easterbrook and his friends became mainstays at Chicago's Viagra Triangle, an area where rich men go to pick up younger women, according to an ex-employee. In February 2021, one employee romantically connected to Easterbrook agreed to be deposed.
In a regulatory filing, the company said the settlement holds Easterbrook to account "over his misconduct, lies, and efforts to impede investigations into his actions." It noted that CEO "returned equity awards and cash, with a current value of over $105 million."
Easterbrook also apologized to the board and his former employees. "During my tenure as CEO, I failed at times to uphold McDonald's values and fulfill certain [sic] of my responsibilities as a leader of the company," he said in the filing.
Easterbrook's attorney did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy?
In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly "lucky" all at the same time. In this article I am not claiming to know the motivations of any of these individuals, but I am pointing out certain patterns that I believe are worth investigating.
One financial publication is using the phrase "the great CEO exodus" to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers unlike anything that we have ever seen before. The following was published by NBC News last November...
Chief executives are leaving in record numbers this year, with more than 1,332 stepping aside in the period from January through the end of October, according to new data released on Wednesday. While it's not unusual to see CEOs fleeing in the middle of a recession, it is noteworthy to see such a rash of executive exits amid robust corporate earnings and record stock market highs.
Last month, 172 chief executives left their jobs, according to executive placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. It's the highest monthly number on record, and the year-to-date total outpaces even the wave of executive exits during the financial crisis.
By the end of the year, an all-time record high 1,480 CEOs had left their posts. (Fortune Magazine, right)
The following are just a few of the big name CEOs that chose to step down in 2019...
United Airlines - Oscar Munoz
Alphabet - Larry Page
Gap - Art Peck
McDonald's - Steve Easterbrook
Wells Fargo - Tim Sloan
Under Armour - Kevin Plank
PG&E - Geisha Williams
Kraft Heinz - Bernardo Hees
HP - Dion Weisler
Bed, Bath & Beyond - Steven Temares
Warner Bros. - Kevin Tsujihara
Best Buy - Hubert Joly
New York Post - Jesse Angelo
Colgate-Palmolive - Ian Cook
MetLife - Steven Kandarian
eBay - Devin Wenig
Nike - Mark Parker
Of course the mass exodus of chief executives did not end there.
In fact, a whopping 219 CEOs stepped down during the month of January 2020 alone.

But to most people it seemed like the good times were still rolling at the end of 2019. Corporate profits were rising and the stock market was setting record high after record high.
Yes, there were lots of signs that the global economy was really slowing down, but most experts were not forecasting an imminent recession.
So why did so many chief executives suddenly decide that it was time to move on?

By then, it was starting to become clear that the coronavirus that was ripping through China could potentially become a major global pandemic, and I certainly can understand why many among the corporate elite would choose to abandon ship at that moment.
Some of these CEOs have made absolutely absurd salaries for many years, and it is much easier to take the money and run than it is to stick around and steer a major corporation through the most difficult global crisis that any of us have ever experienced.
The following are just a few of the well known CEOs that have resigned so far in 2020...
Bob Iger, CEO of Disney
Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM
Harley-Davidson CEO Matt Levatich
T-Mobile's CEO John Legere
LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner
Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga
Keith Block, co-CEO of Salesforce
Tidjane Thiam, CEO of Credit Suisse
Hulu CEO Randy Freer
It is important for me to say that I do not have any special insight into the personal motivations of any of these individuals, and every situation is different.
But I do think that it is quite strange that we have seen such an unprecedented corporate exodus at such a critical moment in our history.
