McDonald’s’s announced in an email on Thursday that it would close its field offices in the upcoming weeks because the majority of field employees work in restaurants and are neglected. Therefore, the business announced that its 10 field offices may be managed by a single, nationwide structure.

In the internet seen by the Journal, Joe Erlinger, leader of McDonald’s’s USA, stated that while the brand is in the best shape it has been in years, our industry has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

McDonald’s’s advised U.S. workers and some foreign staff to work remotely from Monday through Wednesday so the business could make personnel decisions virtually in an inner internet next year. McDonald’s’s requested that all in-person meetings with suppliers and other outside events be canceled by professionals.

According to those with knowledge of the situation, consulting company McKinsey & Co. served as an assistant to McDonald’s’s on the chain reform work.

In recent years, McDonald’s’s has carried out several rounds of cuts.

McDonald’s’s claimed in a company statement from January that the business had too many silos, which caused redundancies and slowed development. According to the string, it aims to stop or divert its attention from some tasks while concentrating on others.
