Don Thompson fired as CEO of McDonald's

   McDonald's recently fired their CEO and first black man to lead the company. The firing of Don Thomoson was expected as he had a terrible tenure as McDonald's has been declining sales percentages in the fast food industry throughout his term. This guy did more than anything else to ring down McDonald's and possibly the future of this company looks bleak and market shares continue to drop flat like a pancake. Thompson was well rewarded for his work in bringing McDonald's down and illustrates the inequality of this company and country. As the workers inside the restaurants fight for a living wage this jerk was making nine million dollars a year doing nothing but playing Tetris and making dumb decisions on overseas expansions. While Chipolte was kicking their ass making fresher foods Thompson helped make menus confusing and presided over six straight quarters of declining same store revenues despite having monopolies on the busiest street corners in cities,towns, and villages across this ugly fast food landscape of America. Companies go down because they invest so much compensation to a few idiots like Thompson instead of the real people who work and keep the place running with their labor. Don Thompson was a great engineer that created a kick ass French fry fryer for McDonald's. Maybe he can go back to the drawing board and engineer some new stuff for Micky D's and go back to what he does best.
