MedMen Stock: Top Executives Resign in a Major Employee Shakeup

MedMen stock

This morning, MedMen stock is under pressure and down over 5%, selling at $2.86 USD on the OTCQX.

MedMen Enterprises's (CSE:MMEN) (OTCQX:MMNFF) General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer have both left their positions in the company following a major employee. The corporate communication senior vice president has also resigned in what is seen as a way of making the company efficient under Adam Bierman, the current CEO.

Reshuffle at the Back of Ex-CFO Lawsuit

In a press release, the CEO stated that all members of the MenMen team have greatly contributed to building a leading cannabis company. This latest reshuffle comes at the back of concerns of an unhealthy work environment and overspending that were voiced recently by former CFO James Parker. In a lawsuit, the former CFO alleged that the work environment at MedMen Enterprises was replete with homophobic, racist, and misogynist epithets from the president and CEO of the company.
