Marketing firm Whiteline Group announced in August that from now until December, workers will be given paid time off to pursue romantic connections on the dating app.It did not state the number of days allocated for such leave.
The company also covers the cost of the higher-tiered Tinder Gold and Tinder Platinum subscriptions for all employees.
