McDonald's has joined other big farms in layoffs according to a Reuters report quoting The Wall Street Journal. The fast food chain is closing its US offices for the time being this week to inform the employees about its layoff plans as a part of a broader company restructuring. Now the company asked US employees and some International staff to work from home from Monday through Wednesday that way the company can tell the impacted employees virtually.

After Amazon, Microsoft, and Twitter, McDonald's has also joined the layoff bandwagon. On Friday, the fast food giant's CEO Chris Kempczinski in a memo to employees said that it is planning to cut some of its corporate workforce.&nbsp;The CEO said, "We will evaluate roles and staffing levels in parts of the organisation and there will be difficult discussions and decisions ahead." He added,&nbsp;"Certain initiatives will be de-prioritised or stopped altogether. This will help us move faster as an organisation, while reducing our global costs and freeing up resources to invest in our growth."
