Exclusive: Future Publishing emails 1,500 staff in England to say full working from home ‘is not something we can do’
Future, the London-listed owner of magazines from Marie Claire to Metal Hammer , has told more than a thousand staff that they must continue to come into the office, despite the latest government guidance to work from home where possible to contain the spread of Omicron.
The publisher, which last month reported expectation-busting revenues and profits guaranteeing big bonuses for its top management, sent an email to its approximately 1,500 staff based in England telling them that a shift to full working from home “is not something we can do”. The company employs 2,800 staff in total, with the US its other main market.
