What the policy says.
- Remote employees had to relocate to hub cities (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, DC) or leave, and were given two weeks to decide.
- By September 2023, about 80 of 178 employees (about 45%) had left, according to Bloomberg/Fortune.
- The plan was announced weeks after a majority of workers announced a union drive with CWA (July 20, 2023). CWA filed NLRB charges alleging retaliation; Grindr said the claims had no merit.
- Grindr's 2025 10-K: the NLRB election held in Nov-Dec 2023 was still unresolved as of Dec 31, 2025 because of challenged ballots.

Working to an office rule? Plan the days that matter.
The hybrid work schedule template builds a week of office days for your team: anchor days everyone shares, the rest spread so the office never overflows. Then Forgot keeps office days, remote days and vacations on one calendar, so nobody commutes in for a planning day half the team is away for.
