Revealed: The main reason behind Sir Jim Ratcliffe & INEOS' decision to end Man Utd work-from-home culture

Premier League

Ipswich

Ratcliffe and INEOS <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ineos-man-utd-sir-jim-ratcliffe-end-work-from-home-culture-non-playing-staff-back-into-the-office/blt3df933755b5b43f6" target="_blank">have cracked the whip at Old Trafford and ordered all staff to return to offices</a>, ending a work-from-home culture that has been in effect since the Covid-19 pandemic. Ratcliffe announced that policy would end during an all-staff meeting last week.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ratcliffe's reasoning was that, at one of his other companies, email traffic dropped by 20 per cent when they experimented with work-from-home Fridays, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/08/sir-jim-ratcliffe-manchester-united-remote-work-ban-email-traffic" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>. However, staff have ridiculed the decision as they see it as short-sighted and have said there is not enough room to accommodate all employees in the Manchester and London offices.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The new United part-owner is said to have warned staff that they should look for a new job if they have a problem with the decision. He reportedly said at the meeting: "If you don’t like it, please seek alternative employment."

WHAT RATCLIFFE SAID

Ratcliffe will have to turn his attention back to solving United's on-field problems as the season nears its end. INEOS are said to be set to sack coach Erik ten Hag at the end of the campaign, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/revealed-thomas-tuchel-frontrunner-next-man-utd-manager-england-gareth-southgate-erik-ten-hag/blt058b86130b160aef" target="_blank">Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel and England boss Gareth Southgate</a> among the options to replace him.
