Grindr loses half staff on return to the office policy

Staff claim it is revenge for unionising.

Nearly half of LGBTQ dating app Grindr's workforce has quit after the company enacted a strict two-day-per-week in-office requirement -- and furious staffers claim the mandate was in retaliation for their campaign to unionise.

Last month, Grindr informed employees that they had two weeks to decide whether to relocate to a "hub" office location and work on-site two days per week or terminate their employment, according to the labour group Communications Workers of America. Through the end of August, about 80 employees -- roughly 45 per cent of Grindr's 180-person workforce -- had left the company due to the mandate, union organisers said.

Grindr offered a severance package for employees who could not or would not comply with the relocation requirement -- a move that the group described as an attempt "to silence workers from speaking out about their working conditions."
