June 7 (UPI) -- McDonald's said it's planning more layoffs to turnaround business that's struggled to compete with other fast food chains in recent years.
The Wall Street Journal obtained an email that McDonald's President Chris Kempczinski sent to employees, suppliers and franchisees Wednesday saying the restaurant will restructure.
The problem with McDonald's is their food, not their employees. The sandwiches and other food portions are too small. When you order a meal at McDonald's you get a message by the size of the portion that says "I don't care about my reputation, I just want to save money by giving you the smallest amount of food that I can get away with."
For a long time this has been the case. I avoid going to this "restaurant" because of these small food portions that seem to be meant for little children rather than adults.
McDonald's can restructure all it wants, but if it doesn't improve the size of their food portions then they will continue to be buffeted around by their competitors

Most Health Nazis complain that the portions are too big.

Wow! No way their portions are too big, at least in my opinion. The food may not be healthy, but I consider their burgers to not be much more bigger than finger sandwiches. Burger King, Dairy Queen, and even Wendy's burgers are bigger.

I don't eat fast foods often, because I don't care for them, but one small burger has enough calories for me. I have no desire to supersize my body weight.

Are you comparing like to like? The standard Wendy's burger is more analogous to a Quarter Pounder than a regular McDonald's burger.
Part of the restructuring is doing away from the front-end staff... 1000 stores a year will be getting kiosks.
My local McD's has a double drive-through, and if both lanes aren't backed up into the street from 6am~whenever they close (2am?), there's something wrong. You know not to drive down the main roads next to that store unless you want to wait on traffic.
The executives make mistakes and then punish the rank and file with layoffs.
Upper management is not responsible for anything.
