Staff cuts and public announcements

Four of the six staffers listed on the site's staff page posted publicly about the layoffs yesterday. Former senior editor Namerah Saud Fatmi updated her LinkedIn profile to indicate her tenure had ended. Managing editor Derrek Lee confirmed that all remaining employees were laid off without notice regarding the site's future.

Freelance contributors take over

New posts published today come from freelance contributors rather than the previous full-time team. A Future spokesperson stated the company will share further information about the site in due course. The outlet declined to provide any additional comment at this time.
