McDonald’s tells employees to work from home as the company prepares to announce mass layoffs

McDonald’s is temporarily closing its U.S. offices this week as the company prepares to announce wide-ranging layoffs.

The Wall Street journal is reporting company executives are preparing to inform corporate employees about the cuts as part of a restructuring.

McDonald’s sent an internal email to its U.S. employees and some international staff, requesting they work from home from Monday to Wednesday.

This means the company to deliver staffing decisions virtually.

McDonald’s is also requesting employees cancel all in-person meetings with vendors and other external parties at its headquarters.

The number of employees who will be affected remains unknown.

In January, McDonald’s announced it would review its corporate staffing levels as part of an updated business strategy, which could lead to layoffs in some areas and expansion in others. #trending #featured
