Grindr Illegally Used RTO to Thwart Union, Forced Out 1/2 of Staff, NLRB Alleges

RTO, after years of hiring remote only positions, IS changing an employee's work location. Grindr employees worked from home 5 days a week, across the US. Then the RTO would make engineers move to Chicago and go into an office 2 times a week. In what world is this RTO not changing employee's work location?

There's precident for "we're transferring you to the Chicago office, Bob" and Bob would just pack up the family from wherever they were living and move. This was common in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s at least for white collar jobs.

also it's a bit disingenuous to call grindr a dating app, it's almost purely a sex hookup app but they would rather pretend it's something else entirely.

In fact, some are very popular, like Tinder and Hinge. But they don't swallow up Grindr, because Grindr is still the place with the most gay men. The value of the app is 90% in that.

There is SOME merit to it, too. Certainly, being closeted is easier on Grindr versus Tinder/Hinge, and that might describe the majority of gay men. Grindr also gives the user much, much more control and information. You don't have to swipe, you can just approach, like you're at a bar.

Many just because they don't want too, or don't want to manage more than 1 app.

We also see several new apps spring up and just never gain traction.

It has developed a stronghold because most still use it, and that likely just isn't changing anytime soon.
