Lmfao, surely they saw this coming. Any one have a way around the pay wall?
May even be intentional. That’s a nice way to fire half your staff without actually firing anyone.
It’s a nice way to fire the the most competent half.
Also likely their most expensive half. If the app is mostly feature-complete and in maintenance mode, they may believe the juniors can handle it. Whether they actually can or not is TBD.
Yes, 100% intentional. Musk has done this a couple times
This is literally the point. “Entitled tech workers childishly resign over requests to return to office” is a much, much better headline then “Grindr lays off half its staff”.
They’re doing it on purpose. It’s no longer about some old school mentality of "butts in seats " and micromanaging…these companies have realized this is a way to massively cut costs without the hit in stock price/public opinion.
We need to stop falling for this “they are so old fashioned lol” narrative, because they’re all more than happy to let you believe that.
Thank you!
these places are telling on themselves making it a ‘requirement’. obviously it’s shittier in every way, if it was somehow exciting and fun and collaborative it would be a welcome announcement.
we need better WFH laws, this could literally revolutionize society and it’s being rolled back because some rich dickheads starting gambling on office buildings
It’s more complicated I’m some places. I believe there are places where it’s not just a fear of depreciated building value. There are literally contracts in violation because they require a certain amount of occupancy.
Oh no! Anyway….
Yes, that’s people who bet on buildings and lost.
It’s called investing. Every investment carries with it the risk of loss. Some more than others.
Oooh, business idea !
Occupancy as a service !!!
US schools have been doing that for many years. Their funding is dependent on warm body count.
Oh well, they can rot, too.
Grindr at half mast.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
