I am interested in most phases of data processing.
Grindr has lost nearly half their employees by forcing a return to office. It's pretty much in retaliation for the employees trying to unionize, and maybe also just a dumb way to reduce headcount and save on severances.

Grindr went public as a SPAC last year and has since lost 90% of its value. Nice to see management is continuing to make good decisions.

that’s really not how I meant it but it’s certainly my bad.

I was more just asking cause like this is a topic that comes up with my coworkers too and they shop in the same places I do too, but it feels like a lot of them aren’t really good at grocery shopping. they just sort of grab whatever and are getting burned the huge gap in standard prices now, particularly on packaged stuff. 350 for a “might not last a week” trip frankly astounds me so I was more trying to figure out if that was simply the new norm of it that was a bit of redditor error but I obviously came at it the wrong way so I’m sorry about that. At least my question was answered but I wasn’t trying to upset people in the process.

180 people is not really that bad for an app company. Uber had like over 30k employees (not drivers, employees)

I saw a bunch of job postings for data engineers for Grindr a few months back. They were paying stupid high for the position as well. I thought about trying for it, but I then learned what a poo poo show of a company it was. They must be having a hard time keeping talent if they are paying what seemed to be 50%-75% above similar jobs in the industry.

That's actually low considering some of that is standard overhead positions and cs stuff.

a better question, why does it need to be a publically traded corporation? of course it'll crash and burn

the obvious answer is the public are rubes and gleefully willing bag holders

serious answer: to let the VCs and (to a lesser extent) employees cash out their stock

shares in a company that doesn't pay dividends are inherently worthless, even if that company has nominally great performance on paper. no tech stocks pay dividends (since the cash for the dividends can instead be used to chase "growth"). owning a share in a public tech company is basically the same as owning a bitcoin: there's no inherent value you own, and you're just hoping some other sucker down the road will pay more for it than you did.

the big techs pay dividends but those are well established behemoths that print money
