Any Chicago employee who got laid off and was forced to move to find another job will one day look back and smile.

First step should be to move their Corporate HQ out of Chicago

Here come the Robots! Or, at least more of them.
All those mega horned pickets from socialist rabble rousers demanding $18. per hour + the COVID slump is a big reason.

RE: What the heck is an equity grant?

An equity grant is a non-cash compensation given to someone, giving them a percentage of ownership to a company. This may come in various forms, such as stock options, restricted stocks, virtual or phantom options, or stock appreciation rights.

Lol! I can imagine some crabby cashier working the window talking just like that, after the customer first rejects the large order of fries, because they are now too cold after a long wait.

I wonder if those cuts affect folks in the “Diversity” department?

If the brand is so strong, how come the picture in the article has no golden arches?

Is the equity grant given only to some protected class?

This has absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with robots, burger flippers, WOKISM, etc.; it has ONLY to do with CORPORATE STAFF and officers; many of whom got caught doing something wrong!

This has been in the works for quite some time, the offices were closed last Monday through Wednesday because they did NOT want anyone talking to news people, when they left the building, and YES, my information is from someone who would know, inside MacDonald's.

Lower your prices or you’re doomed.

Just too expensive for what used to be bargain priced food.

I hope they get rid of the bozo that thought up the prerecorded message at the drive through machine that sounds like someone taking your order by asking a question. Will you be ordering with your app today? or, would you like to try our new bacon double cheeseburger? I don’t like being fooled.

This has NOTHING at all to do with the price of a hamburger!

When MacDonald's opened, the average grammar school teacher made $4,000 a year or less, the price of meat, etc., was far less than it is today. The minimum wage in N.Y. was 50 CENTS an hour.

The reshuffling has ONLY to do with CORPORATE STAFF! It has been planned for fore a while before it was announced.

Some people got fired due to something they did or didn't do correctly and deadwood...NOT PRICES OF THE PRODUCTS, burger flippers, minimum wages, nor any other pathetic garbage that so many here keep posting.
