The decision from the company was praised widely on the micro-blogging platform Twitter as well as Bumble’s head of editorial content, Clare O’Connor, on Monday. In her now-deleted tweet, Ms O’Connor said that founder Whitney Wolfe Herd had taken the action “having correctly intuited our collective burnout”.

The past year has been a very busy one for Bumble.

The dating application, which allows women to make the first move, made its stock market debut in February this year. The pandemic-induced lockdown only contributed to its popularity as lakh of people, quarantined at home, swiped right to beat the lockdown blues.

Going by the report from BBC, the number of paid users across Bumble and Badoo, which Bumble also owns, spiked by 30% in the three months to 31 March.

Now, Bumble’s decision to allow its employees a week off was widely praised on social media.
