快餐巨头麦当劳周日宣布，史蒂夫伊斯特布鲁克(Steve Easterbrook)在与一名员工达成共识关系后辞去首席执行官一职，这违反了公司政策。
美联社据报告的伊斯特布鲁克下台了，他说经理们与可能直接或间接向他们汇报的员工建立浪漫关系是违反麦当劳政策的。
伊斯特布鲁克于2015年成为首席执行官，他给麦当劳员工发了一封电子邮件，承认了这种关系，并称之为一个错误。
伊斯特布鲁克写道:“考虑到公司的价值，我同意董事会的观点，现在是我继续前进的时候了。”。
该公司董事会对伊斯特布鲁克的行为进行了审查，并于周五对他的离职进行了投票。公司发言人表示，伊斯特布鲁克的离职计划将在周一的联邦文件中详细说明。
董事会任命麦当劳美国总裁克里斯·肯普钦斯基(Chris Kempczinski)为新任总裁兼首席执行官。凯宾斯基也被任命为董事会成员。
“我很高兴能领导这家不可思议的公司。肯普钦斯基说:“与我们才华横溢的团队、董事会、特许经营商和供应商一起工作，我致力于维护我们为客户服务的丰富传统，并为我们的股东和其他利益相关者创造价值。”。“我们不仅有责任提供美味的食物，而且有责任负责任地制作食物，丰富我们经营的社区。这一挑战让我充满活力，我期待着指导麦当劳继续取得成功。”
麦当劳公司发了一份发布周日报道称，乔·厄林格已被任命为麦当劳美国总裁，立即生效。
肯普钦斯基说:“乔是一位受人尊敬的领导人，他在世界各地为麦当劳工作后回到了美国。”。“通过与特许经营商的合作以及对客户的不懈关注，他有着良好的业绩记录。我感到自豪和兴奋的是，作为首席执行官，我的第一步就是宣布他的任命，我对他将为我们的美国业务带来的一切充满信心。”
二林格将监督美国约14，000家麦当劳餐厅的业务运营，并将向肯普钦斯基汇报。
“我们的美国业务是麦当劳的心脏，”二林格说。“我期待与我们的特许经营商合作，在我们最大市场的转型进步基础上再接再厉。凭借一支致力于经营一流餐厅的优秀团队，我们拥有向所有客户兑现品牌承诺的巨大动力。”

MCDONALD'S CEO STEVE EASTERBROOK STEPS DOWN AFTER RELATIONSHIP WITH EMPLOYEE
Fast food giant McDonald's announced Sunday that Steve Easterbrook has stepped down as its chief executive officer after engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee, which is a violation of company policy.
The Associated Press reported Easterbrook's stepping down, saying it's against McDonald's policy for managers to have romantic relationships with employees who may report to them directly or indirectly.
Easterbrook, who became CEO in 2015, sent an email to McDonald's employees acknowledging the relationship, and called it a mistake.
"Given the values of the company, I agree with the board that it is time for me to move on," Easterbrook wrote.
The company's board of directors conducted a review of Easterbrook's actions and voted Friday on his departure. A company spokesperson said Easterbrook's separation package will be detailed in a federal filing on Monday.
The board named Chris Kempczinski, who was president of McDonald's USA, as its new president and CEO. Kempczinski has also been appointed to the board of directors.
"I'm thrilled to be leading this incredible company. Working alongside our talented team, our board, our franchisees and suppliers, I am committed to upholding our rich heritage of serving our customers and driving value for our shareholders and other stakeholders," Kempczinski said. "We have a responsibility not only to serve great food, but to make it responsibly and to enrich the communities in which we operate. I am energized by this challenge and look forward to guiding McDonald's continued success."
The McDonald's Corporation sent a release Sunday that said Joe Erlinger has been appointed as president of McDonald's USA, effective immediately.
"Joe is a respected leader who is returning to the U.S. after working around the world for McDonald's," Kempczinski said. "He has a proven track record of driving strong results through collaboration with franchisees and a relentless focus on the customer. I am proud and excited that one of my first moves as CEO is to announce his appointment, and am confident in all he will bring to our U.S. business."
Erlinger will oversee business operations of approximately 14,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States, and he will report to Kempczinski.
"Our U.S. business is the heartbeat of McDonald's," said Erlinger. "I look forward to working with our franchisees to build upon the transformational progress in our largest market. With a talented team that is committed to running great restaurants, we have tremendous momentum to deliver on our brand promise to all of our customers."
