Significant Layoffs At National Geographic Magazine
Khai Le
“In the opening days of the month when National Geographic magazine is scheduled to be turned over to 21st Century Fox, the magazine’s employees were told to stand by their phones to wait for calls – one by one – to come to Human Resources to learn the fate of their jobs.
A memo sent to all staff on Monday from CEO Gary Knell told the magazine’s employees to return to Washington to Geographic’s headquarters if possible to wait for an eMail on Tuesday which would give them more information about their employment status.
”No one knows how many will be axed today,” a source inside National Geographic told News Photographer magazine this morning. “The staff is sitting by their phones, waiting to be called down to HR.”
