Grindr has lost about 45% of its staff as it enforces a strict return-to-office policy that was introduced after a majority of employees announced a plan to unionize.

About 80 of the 178 employees at the LGBTQ+ dating app company resigned after the company in August mandated that workers return to work in person two days a week at assigned “hub” offices or be fired, the Communications Workers of America said in a statement Wednesday.

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

Yeah, I've heard this referred to as The Dead Sea Effect. Seems accurate to me.

That checks out with them using IBM as the example.
