Bumble announced a significant workforce reduction, cutting 30% of its staff as part of a strategic realignment aimed at optimizing operational efficiency. These layoffs, affecting about 240 employees, are expected to save the company $40 million annually, which will be reinvested into product and technology advancements. Despite these cuts and previous weak earnings, Bumble's stock rose by 20% after the announcement, and it has revised its revenue forecast upward for the second quarter. The company is adjusting amid challenges faced in the competitive dating app market.
Bumble anticipates saving $40 million per year as a result of the workforce reduction and plans to reinvest most of this money into product and technology development.
Herd said in an interview with The New York Times that 'Bumble needs me back. It's an extension of me to some degree, and watching it fall from its peak has been very hard.'
