The firing of McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook because of a consensual relationship with an employee is just the latest reminder that office relationships are tricky terrain, and can end badly if they aren’t handled carefully, experts tell MarketWatch.
Easterbrook’s departure comes as McDonald’s is facing a slew of lawsuits, alleging workers in its restaurants were sexually harassed on the job. The company has previously said it would improve its anti-harassment training and establish a new hot line for workers to report problems.
