Ultimatum rejected | Staff at dating app Grindr quit en masse over return-to-office mandate

Nearly half of Grindr’s employees have quit their jobs after the company ended its remote work policy.

The company behind the LGBT+ dating app has faced a mass exodus in response to its decision to force workers back to the office.

According to the Communications Workers of America (CWA), Grindr announced in August that U.S. employees would have to choose between relocating to one of several major cities where the firm had an office (such as New York, LA, San Francisco and Chicago) and attend the office at least twice a week -or quit.

It seems many Grindr staff weren’t willing to play ball - refusing to accept the company’s demand and simply walked away from their jobs with a severance package.
