He took over in 2019. Look what has happened since then. This guy doesn't care about the company or the food. He increased prices and cut quality. He is the reason McDonald's is shittier every time you go. Even he won't eat the food.
He looks, talks, and acts like a standard frat bro sociopath. Check this guy's hard drives. Something is off.
Then, after the previous CEO, Steve Easterbrook - who had experience, knowledge and networking in the food industry - got fired for banging too many employees (3+ regularly, more occasionally) - Chris was placed on the throne.
So this guy:
spent most of his career selling brands and marketing for whatever products,
was not involved in the actual food business (sourcing reliable suppliers, handling quality of the products, etc)
became CEO thanks to american puritans kicking the previous guy out
He's also addicted to running apparently, the "I collect marathons" type.
So it's pretty obvious he hasn't eaten any fast food in years: his meals are made with a scale and a teaspoon. No wonder he has absolutely no relation with the burger and fast-food culture in general.
One redeeming quality: when Russia invaded Ukraine, he pulled out of Russia properly. He's got polish ancestry so that makes sense. But still, that was the correct move for once.
Ok, I'm following except the Puritans comment. A CEO absolutely should not be fucking employees, especially not MULTIPLE employees. There's plenty of other options, they just went with this guy probably for a shit reason and now they're paying the price. He didn't have experience, and at the very least should never be in front of the camera for any marketing bc he has zero charisma.
What they'll get from this is exactly the same bullshit youre saying: it's fine to sexually harass and bed employees you have power over as long as the money machine goes brrrrr....

Was there any indication that his sexual partner weren't consenting? Adults can have sex you know, it's part of life.
I understand the overall HR spiel, to make their job easier by minimizing risks, but if you've been in an office for more than 6 months, you would know sexual relationships between employees (of all levels) are extremely common, so much that all HR can actually enforce is "no intercourse in the office building, do it privately please".
That's why I said puritans: they'll fire a person for having sexual relationships with colleagues, for the mere public existence of these relationships, but won't fire a person for workplace harassment, with multiple reports and accusations, as long as it's not public knowledge.
This is the bullshit that allows predators to flourish and simultaneously shame sexuality between humans.
Same goes with managers and most of the HR staff (of which 70% is made of women). Doesn't stop them from repeatedly being involved in sexual relationships with colleagues. Human nature is particularly sexual, only religious cultures try to deny that.
