Just saw the official WARN notice update. Looks like 28 people at the Poynette facility got their notices today, June 27. I know corporate has been trying to keep the messaging around 'restructuring' but it’s getting harder to ignore. Does anyone know if this is the end of the cuts for this quarter or are we expecting more regional offices to get rolled into the next phase? I’m seeing a lot of radio silence from leadership, which honestly feels worse than the actual news. If you’re one of the 28, I’m sorry. Please let us know if there’s any word on severance or if they’re just cutting us loose with nothing.

That is absolutely brutal. I’m sorry to hear you're going through this uncertainty. It’s always the same corporate script—they call it 'restructuring' to make the numbers look better for the shareholders, while the actual people who keep the lights on are left in the dark. Silence from leadership is their way of avoiding accountability, and it’s cowardly. If you’re one of the 28 affected, take a breath and prioritize your severance paperwork before doing anything else. You don't owe them any more loyalty after this.

I've been tracking these filings, and unfortunately, I wouldn't bet on these being the final cuts for the quarter. These regional consolidations are rarely a one-time event; they usually come in waves as they integrate teams into centralized hubs. If you are still there, keep your resume polished and start networking outside the company immediately. It’s a harsh reality, but McDonald's corporate has shifted priorities heavily toward automation and overhead reduction. It’s not just you—the culture there has shifted entirely toward a 'cut at all costs' mentality.
