> apply [their] skills to something of actual use What a bizarre thing to say in 2023. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone under 40 who doesn't know at least one couple who met online. These people lost their jobs. No need to ignorantly denigrate their work as well.

Literally 100% of my immediate family married someone they met online. 75% of us, including myself, are still married to said online date.

> I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone under 40 who doesn't know at least one couple who met online. What an off-the-mark conclusion, I like many other tech working millennials grew up on the internet and came of age when it became (reluctantly) what it is now; of course I know people who met online, I have spent way too much of my Life online so I personally refused to use them and don't see their allure; I still rely on social interactions to meet partners. I'm way too analog in that respect despite a majority of my life being spent online. > These people lost their jobs. No need to ignorantly denigrate their work as well. They didn't lose their jobs, so much as showed that RTO is so absurd that its not worth returning even if it meant being terminated to satisfy the managerial class, and that is what conviction looks like; and I'm not denigrating their work, so much as underscoring worker resentment will make them move on to something more worthy of their time. Ultimately, I'm praising them as they have my full solidarity and exposing Grindr to be just as myopic as Amazon/X/Tesla run by imbeciles who are forcing them back to the office despite many studies showing that the metrics and performance are not decreasing and have offered people actual work life balance and have made many (but not all) more satisfied and productive. This mentality is wide spread in Corporate America, and apparently Grindr is complicit and willing to risk it's workforce to do it to, despite all it's branding of inclusiveness it clearly doesn't include respecting their workers preferences: ironic huh? Almost like this narrative only holds water when its profitable and suits them.
