This is literally the point. "Entitled tech workers childishly resign over requests to return to office" is a much, much better headline then "Grindr lays off half its staff".

They're doing it on purpose. It's no longer about some old school mentality of "butts in seats " and micromanaging...these companies have realized this is a way to massively cut costs without the hit in stock price/public opinion.

We need to stop falling for this "they are so old fashioned lol" narrative, because they're all more than happy to let you believe that.
