According to a Wall Street Journal article, McDonald’s, a well-known fast-food business with US headquarters, will momentarily close its US buildings this coming week as it gets ready to inform corporation staff about layoffs made by burger king as part of a larger company restructuring.
McDonald’s instructed its employees to work from the house from Monday through Wednesday, according to the report, which cited an internal email sent by the firm last week to some of its foreign and US staff members. It also instructed personnel to postpone any face-to-face meetings scheduled at the world office with clients and other external parties.
According to the allegation, McDonald’s stated in the email that “important decisions about positions and workforce levels across the organization would be communicated during the week of April 3.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, the business refused to respond to layoffs. Over 1,50,000 people work for the corporation in corporate positions and its restaurants.
McDonald’s has previously stated that by April, “tough decisions” on adjustments to its corporate staffing numbers would be made. The business added that choices are made by its overall strategic plan.
In current history, McDonald’s has performed multiple rounds of layoffs. According to WSJ, in 2018, McDonald’s announced that it was reducing management to become “more dynamic, adaptable, and competitive.”
All in-person appointments at McDonald’s office with vendors, as well as other third parties, have also been requested to be canceled, according to the article. When Reuters asked McDonald’s for a remark, they did not get back to them right away.
In January, the fast-food franchise said that it would assess its corporate employment numbers as part of a revised business strategy, which might result in advancement in some places and cutbacks in others.
