McDonald's has laid off hundreds of workers and cut pay packages for others after shuttering officers across the US.
The fast food firm slashed roles across all departments including marketing, operations, store staff and field offices, the Wall Street Journal reported.
It comes as part of a huge restructuring at the burger giant, which is reportedly part of a bid to re-invent the drive thru across the world.
McDonald's even temporarily shut down offices across the US on Monday as it started to tell some corporate workers about the layoffs.
In recent months, the fast food giant recruited pop culture icons Cardi B and Offset in an attempt to revive the company's fortunes.
Bosses reportedly offered some workers the chance to keep working for the fast food firm but with reduced salaries and changes to their benefits.
The changes are expected to impact at least 10 offices across the US for those working in operations, finance and marketing, leaked emails revealed.
President of McDonald's USA Joe Erlinger said: 'While the McDonald's Brand is in the strongest position it has been in years, we also recognize that our business has grown increasingly complex in recent years.'
Meanwhile an internal email last week said employees should work from Monday to Wednesday so staffing changes could be made virtually.
McDonald's also asked all staff to cancel all in-person meetings with vendors at its headquarters.
U.S. employees laid off exited the company but will remain on the payroll till June 15 and will receive severance after that time.

Lucky the bidenomics is roaring right along eh?
Drop the woke bs and maybe some customers will come back.
“RE-INVENT its drive-thrus”
Hopefully automated......that would certainly cut down on the gunplay.
I see the cardiB/offset meal deal at the mail link. Wonder if they include antibiotics with that? đ
” in an attempt to revive the company’s fortunes.”
Huh? I was in a McDonald’s about a week ago, and the place was super busy. Maybe it’s different in some regions, but most of their stores seem to doing quite well from I can see.
Cardi B admitted, in an off-handed way, that while she worked as a stripper (and hooker) she would drug, and then rob, some of her johns.
Is this what we can expect at the new McDonald’s drive-thru?
the Ebonics Kaiden commercial ran endlessly every day on iHeart Radio for 30-40 days so I quit listening to that too. I donât need to be tortured by the same commercial 50 times a day for over a month.
Bullet proof, armored, airlock customer interface?
Can’t speak for other countries, but anyone following McDonald’s in recent years knows that they are trying to stay ahead of the Left and simply replace EVERY PERSON that they can with machinery.
As far as I can tell, they’ve completed the easy part, replacing cashiers with kiosks, but now it’s time to go after the delivery end of the food, which is a bit more complicated, and then finally it will be food preparation, which will be the most complicated.
âIn recent months, the fast food giant recruited pop culture icons Cardi B and Offset in an attempt to revive the company’s fortunes.â
âOffsetââŚwhen I got the large cup with the Cardi B and Offset graphics, it just reminded me of Rita and Upgrayedd from Idiocracy.
I think, as they said, the organization was becoming too complex, probably too top-heavy in management. Every McDonaldâs Iâm in always seems busy as well.
Probably going to go cashless with a credit card machine to pay for your meal right at the menu board.
And its remarkable that Chick-Fil-A is doing the exact opposite, and absolutely thriving. No kiosks, and EXTRA people in the drive thru line to take your order.
They have figured out that outstanding service makes a difference. McDonald’s service, quite frankly, stinks the vast majority of the time.
Along with Burger King!
I stopped patronizing McDonalds a few years ago when they would have you “pull forward” in the drive thru for a basic meal, just to wait 5-10 minutes or be forgotten.
I started telling them, “no thanks.” When they asked me to pull forward to wait. It angered one manager so bad he was going to yell at my spouse until I leaned forward and he saw me. Backed down right quick.
There is a McDonaldâs near the Denver Airport that only has kiosks, a pick-up counter, tables and chairs and the bathrooms. You could barely see the food prepping area in the back from the pick-up counter. I didnât see anywhere cash could be used. Thatâs their future.

Like the ones at drugstores and drive-thru bank tellers
