McDonald’s Temporarily Closes U.S. Offices as It Prepares for LayoffsPaul Bois 2 Apr 2023
The fast-food megacorporation McDonald’s has temporarily closed its U.S. offices in preparation for a wave of layoffs as part of the company’s restructuring plan.
Last week, the company sent an internal email to U.S. employees as well as some international staff asking that they work from home Monday through Wednesday as it performs layoffs virtually. The company has given no indication as to how many employees will be given a pink slip.
“During the week of April 3, we will communicate key decisions related to roles and staffing levels across the organization,” the company said in the email obtained by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The company said in its email that the week would likely be a busy one for travel due to spring break and Easter, which inspired its decision to perform layoffs virtually.
“We want to ensure the comfort and confidentiality of our people during the notification period,” the company said.
The wave of layoffs comes after McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski said in an interview this past January that the company will be making “difficult” decisions to restructure its corporate staff.
