Wish Grindr's relatively new CEO was reading your comment. The company was remote-first/friendly since day 1 years ago, and along comes this guy, and gives a RTO ultimatum to all employees. That was couple of weeks ago. 3/4 (no joke) of engineering dept took severance. Other departments lost more than a half too. The company lost more than 60% of employees in 2 weeks.
There are lawsuits now because 2 weeks before RTO ultimatum, a employee union was formed so a lot of people think that RTO ultimatum was a Unfair Labour Practice or a union busting move.
The move was so boneheaded and uncomprehensible that a lot of people suspect that the CEO simply wanted to destroy the union even if that takes sinks the company.
