Letter Publishedin The National UAE on 7Nov 19 Letter.Workplace relationships are simply unethical
I write to you in reference to McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook dismissed over relationship with employee (November 4). McDonald's CEO has been fired because of an affair he had with one of his employees. This is highly unethical, as his subordinate may have felt pressured into getting in a relationship with her boss. The MeToo movement was launched specifically to address these issues but unfortunately there is still a lot of work to be done so that women are not harassed at work.
I find Mr Easterbrook's behaviour deplorable, although he at least admitted the error of his ways in an email to his employees. Employees should be treated with dignity and respect, and made to feel comfortable and safe at work whatever their gender.
