McDonald’s temporarily shuts US offices, prepares layoff notices: WSJ
.
BURGER chain McDonald’s 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 (Apr 2).
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. It is unclear how many employees will be laid off.
