Kampczynski said there would be "difficult" discussions and decisions, with some plans to be deprioritized or stopped entirely.
This would help the company move more quickly while reducing global costs, freeing up resources and investing in growth, he said.
According to reports, McDonald's plans to announce its workforce plan by April 3, but has not yet determined the number of layoffs.
According to reports, as of the end of 2021, McDonald's has about 200,000 employees in its own restaurants, of which 75% are located outside the United States.
McDonald's global franchise stores have more than 2 million employees.
