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.
