McDonald’s chief executive left the company after violating company policy by engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee, the corporation said Sunday.

The fast food giant said former president and CEO Steve Easterbrook demonstrated poor judgment. McDonald’s forbids managers from having romantic relationships with direct or indirect reports.

In an e-mail to employees, Easterbrook acknowledged he had a relationship with an employee and said it was a mistake.

‘‘Given the values of the company, I agree with the board that it is time for me to move on,’’ Easterbrook said in the e-mail.

You don’t dip your pen in company ink, you don’t fish off the company pier, you don’t get your nookie where you get your cookies, and you don’t s#it where you eat.

His mistake is that he should have "fired" her (or him? or xi?). I think he could easily get the "fired" person a very good job out of the company.

Can we bring in Officer Mac, Mayor McCheese, & Hamburglar while we’re at it?

Don’t forget Burger King, the Duke of Doubt, Sir Shake-a-lot, & the Wizard of Fries.

Got to be some entendres in there.

Even at McDonald's, it takes two hands to handle an employee.

the first dirty joke I remember hearing was this:

Why did Dairy Queen get pregnant?

Because Burger King forgot to wrap his whopper

On the other hand, if you do the same thing, and you're POTUS, and your name is Bill Clinton, you get to keep your job.

When the news about Monica broke, I (naively) thought at the time that Clinton would immediately resign. When he didn't, he created an irreparable tear in the moral fabric of the country.
