So #Grindr staff chose to #unionize, and company leaders enforced #ReturnToOffice as *retaliation*. Company leaders know #RTO sucks, and they are using it punitively.
They started enforcing #RTO of two days a week, and HALF THEIR STAFF RESIGNED.
The response of the CEO is hilarious. “The team will be smaller than where we were before and where we want to be…So that’ll obviously impact margin in a positive way in the near term.”
That’s like saying “The bad news is I lost my entire left leg. The good news is that I finally got my weight under 160 pounds.”

Grindr Loses Almost Half Its Staff on 2-Day RTO Requirement
Grindr Inc. has lost about 45% of its staff as it enforces a strict return-to-office policy that was introduced after a majority of employees announced a plan to unionize.
About 80 of the 178 employees at the LGBTQ dating app company were forced to resign after the company in August mandated workers return to work in person two days a week at assigned “hub” offices or be fired.
I'm always stunned when people say they're still using #Grindr. It hasn't exactly been a beacon of light in recent years. But now they've really gone and done it. After demanding that everyone return to the office, they terminated roughly 46% of their staff. Gods only know how this will affect their tech stack.
Remember: continuing to use their product funds this sort of behavior.
Yesterday was #LaborDay in the #USA
#Grindr is enforcing a “return to office policy”
#CodeForAmerica announced just before #LaborDay that they're immediately laying off 35 employees
We *all* deserve a #union to stand up for our rights

Digging some more into the FALSE rumor that #Grindr threatened to violate user privacy in order to blackmail legislators, I learned that some people have wanted to boycott the site because of some vague conservative views expressed by its CEO. Maybe that's the reason for spreading the lies. https://www.advocate.com/news/2022/10/13/grindr-faces-boycott-after-gay-ceos-right-wing-tweets-are-revealed

“Even as Grindr refuses to meet the demands of the workers that make the app run, the company is celebrating its growing earnings. According to a shareholder letter published by the company on Tuesday, the app’s revenue was $61.5 million in Q2 alone, resulting in a net income of over $22 million. Despite this, the company has still not voluntarily acknowledged the union. Rainbow capitalists — they’re just like the rest of them.”
