WWE has decided to push back the start date for its new edict slightly.
On Tuesday, WWE employees learned that they had been ordered to return to work full-time at company headquarters in Stamford, CT, something the majority of employees hadn’t been doing since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Instead, they had been working mostly remotely. They learned through an email from WWE CEO Nick Khan that they would be going back to the office starting this Monday.
As previously reported, some employees were upset about this edict, mostly because they had to learn about it in an email sent out at night. They also didn’t like the short notice of the edict as they would have to make changes to their lives, especially those with young children. For more on the internal reaction, click here.
Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics reports that the start date of this edict has been pushed back by a week:
