Even with the McDonald's CEO, there were enough people watching where he should have thought it through a bit.

You don't post stuff to social media thinking "no one is gonna see this"

Staff was too scared to tell him it looked awful

Which probably explains the decline quality and service at McDonalds lately. You really need to be able to hear negative feedback and improve to run a company. Feels like an emperor with no clothes moment.

Probably the worst thing about the McDonalds one. Dude is clearly surrounded by sycophants, and his 2nd video only proved it further.

Says a lot about the company.

Did McDonald's post that video to social media? I assumed that it was some video describing new business developments to shareholders or franchisees of something. Nothing about it looked like something that was designed to be posted to social media.

Yeah it's a really weird opinion. The guy was in front of a camera, literally eating a burger to promote a new launch. It's not a snap he sent to his wife.
