Burger chain McDonald’s is temporarily closing its U.S. workplaces this 7 days as it prepares to advise corporate workforce about its layoffs as element of a broader organization restructuring, The Wall Road Journal described on Sunday.

In an inner e-mail last week to U.S. employees and some global staff members, McDonald’s questioned them to do the job from residence from Monday through Wednesday so it can supply staffing decisions pretty much, the report reported. It is unclear how quite a few workers will be laid off.

“During the week of April 3, we will communicate important conclusions relevant to roles and staffing degrees throughout the organization,” the Chicago-based mostly business mentioned in the message viewed by the Journal.

McDonald’s also questioned workers to cancel all in-human being meetings with vendors and other exterior parties at its headquarters, the report extra.

McDonald’s did not quickly answer to a Reuters ask for for comment.

The speedy-food stuff chain stated in January that it would evaluate corporate staffing degrees as component of an current business enterprise technique, which could guide to layoffs in some locations and enlargement in other people.

McDonald’s is anticipated to start out announcing vital decisions by Monday.
