The LGBTQ dating app company Grindr forced 45 per cent of employees to resign when they refused to work in-person.
Key point not in the article headline but in the article itself: they unionized 2 weeks earlier.
Kinda surprised it was only 178 ppl working for the app.
That seems like a lot to me considering the app could be put together by just a few people.
Damn that’s a lot more than I would think is needed. I think Craigslist had/has like 50 people so I figured you can still keep a business chugging along without a ton of staff.
Most of these mandated return to office policies are implemented to get people to leave the company without getting bad press for layoffs. Seems like it worked for this one.
That’s a “quiet layoff” usually, unless an employee tells the press.
