Bumble shuts offices to avoid burnout amongst employees

The company behind the popular dating app told workers to take a paid week of leave to 'shut off and focus on themselves'

'We wanted to give our teams around the world an opportunity to shut off and focus on themselves for a week,' Bumble said in a statement.

In an effort to combat the possibility of staff burnout, Bumble has temporarily closed all of its offices around the world in order to give workers a seven-day break.

Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO of the dating app company, made the decision to give the company's 700 employees an entire week of paid holidays after "having correctly intuited our collective burnout,” according to a tweet from the company’s head of editorial content.
