Last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you might remember that ELLE Accessories kind of folded, along with a few more print magazines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and CosmoGIRL,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! died just before that.
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Time Inc’s announced that they’re cutting 600 jobs from their company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], instituting a total restructuring of the management of their titles (which includes In Style,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], easily the most widely-read fashion women’s magazine on the market) and will now be regularly lending writers between magazines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], presumably to save on pay. And Time’s the world’s largest magazine publisher with 130 books on its roster.
For now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they’re saying that none of their titles are folding. Whether anyone should really believe that remains to be seen. But here’s a thought:
Time is widely regarded as one of the best companies to work for. Anyone who’s ever worked at In Style will go on and on about the hours,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the pay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the benefits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and especially the general culture of super nice people who are all sans ‘tude.
But what happens when you strip staffers of their sense of security and inevitably make everyone more competitive for their jobs?
