McDonald's temporarily shuts US offices, prepares layoff notices -WSJ

[P. Coonan]

(Reuters) - Burger chain McDonald's Corp is temporarily closing its U.S.
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 U.S. 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.
It is unclear how many employees will be laid off.

"During the week of April 3, we will communicate key decisions related to
roles and staffing levels across the organization," 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.

McDonald's did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment.

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.

McDonald's is expected to begin announcing key decisions by Monday.

They are overpriced and use pre-cooked meat products now. Who knows what
is in the nuggets these days.
