McDonald’s reportedly temporarily shuts its U.S. corporate offices ahead of layoffs

McDonald’s is jointing a list of others by cutting staff.
I don’t believe this will affect restaurant workers as most of them are privately owned.

Facebook
Twitter
Google

The corporate world is trimming the fat. I don’t know if McDonald’s has a lot of dead weight in in corporate ranks like google and Facebook but this is supposedly something to do with restructuring..

No word on the numbers or titles being cut.

“ 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”

If I think about it I can actually still remember the taste of New Coke. That was soft drink companies first foray into HF corn syrup I believe (a cost cutting measure when compared to natural sugar) but the corn syrup wasn't quite neutral in flavor yet.

NuCoke actually tasted better at wine cellar or cold basement room temperature rather than on ice or from the fridge... for some reason I do remember that weird quirk but it was far from Pepsi of the time as Pepsi wasn't as sweet as it is now either.

Pepsi actually burned back in the day, like it scratched your throat going down, it was pleasant... even original Coke was sweeter and went down smoother.

Kind of weird because Pepsi wasn't considered the youth drink that it's aligned towards now.

I find regular NOS (which is an energy drink?) To be the closest thing to how sodas used to taste. (NOS on ice = throat scratching bliss)

I heard he will be replace with a big hairy man in drags clothing, is going to be super great, for the little children.

This is nothing unusual - they have done it a few times before.

It's to get older and non-performing workers out. It's too hard to fire someone for cause - much easier just to include them in layoffs.

They also play the transfer headquarters game to get rid of older workers. Move from downtown to suburbs, from suburbs to downtown and then back again. Walgreens, BP, McDonalds, Conagra all have played this game in the Chicago area.

A few years ago, they move their headquarters that was in a very central suburban location to the west loop. This made commutes hell for anyone not already living in the central downtown area.

What stands out is the statement they don't to deliver layoff notices in person.
