New York Times Co. has delayed its plan to have employees return to the office a few days a week starting in June due to a Covid spike in New York City, the latest company to make adjustments in the face of a rapid surge in cases.
“Based on the city’s guidance and the advice of our health experts, we are pausing the start of our Expected Phase of return to office until conditions improve,” Jacqueline Welch, the Times’s executive vice president and chief human resources officer, wrote in a memo to staff, a copy of which was viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
