CHICAGO: Burger chain McDonald’s Corp is temporarily closing its US offices this week as it prepares to inform corporate employees about its layoffs as part of a broader company restructuring, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday. In an internal email last week to US employees and some international staff, McDonald’s asked them to work from home from Monday through Wednesday so it can deliver staffing decisions virtually, the report said.
“During the week of April 3, we will communicate key decisions related to roles and staffing levels across the organisation,” the Chicago-based company said in the message viewed by the Journal. McDonald’s also asked employees to cancel all in-person meetings with vendors and other outside parties at its headquarters, the report added.The fast-food chain said in January that it would review corporate staffing levels as part of an updated business strategy, which could lead to layoffs in some areas and expansion in others.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
