  This was intentional. Tech companies force people back to the office in order to cull employees. IBM is infamous for getting 20+ year employees to quit in order to deny retirement benefits. Grindr is using a time tested method.

    Problem is that the best employees will find other jobs and the ones that can’t stay. Not a great filter for a company that wants to stay successful

    IBM also designed the machines and cataloging system used by the Nazis to number Jews in concentration camps. Fun fact
