when the pandemic went into overdrive,
many people had to readjust their lives.
many of my friends had to turn their homes into offices.
their kid’s bedrooms became a classroom.
don’t even get me started on those who worked while on vacation.
it was confusing like,
“how is this gonna work?“,
but everyone adjusted and figured it out.
so much so…
They started to like it.
They started to love it.
they realized they didn’t need to be in an office to get work done.
they could be home,
do their jobs,
and still have a work/life balance.
none of these jobs went bankrupt during the panny as they feared.
some jobs did tremendously well tbh.
the same ceos who were preaching “wfh!” are now changing their tunes.
apparently,
that is what is happening at grindr…
Management at the popular LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr is asking workers to return to the office or lose their jobs, prompting outrage from employees who say the move will upend their lives.
According to a form sent to workers at Grindr on August 4 obtained by Vice’s Motherboard, workers would need to confirm by August 17 whether or not they would move within 50 miles of Grindr’s three offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, or the San Francisco Bay area or lose their jobs at the end of the month.
The news comes two weeks after employees announced their effort to unionize under the Communications Workers of America, Grindr United. Grindr United posted Sunday that the pivot to in-person work by the company is a “bizarre coincidence.”
Timeline review!
July 20: we tell management that we have organized ourselves and request voluntary recognition.
July 20 – Aug 3: no contact from management. At all. None. Zero.
Aug 4: management announces we have two weeks to decide whether to uproot our lives or we’re fired.

pitiful.
why don’t some of these companies be honest?
They want us to go back into offices cause they are paying rent for their expensive ass empty buildings.
Not only that,
their states need people to buy lunch in the areas.
Those expensive ass lunches keep money flowing.
focus on those who want to go back to work in the office then.
are they gonna work on changing these toxic work environments?
hmm.
