Bumble to Slash 30% of Staff in 2025, Realigning “Operating Structure”

What’s Happening at Bumble?

Bumble is planning to eliminate approximately 30% of its workforce, or around 240 jobs, as it “realigns its operating structure.”

“[We expect] to incur approximately $13 million to $18 million of non-recurring charges, consisting primarily of employee severance, benefits, and related charges, for impacted employees,” the dating app company said in a regulatory filing.

Bumble believes the workforce reduction will help it save $40 million annually.

Impact on Canadian Staff

It remains unclear if any Canadian employees at Bumble are affected by the latest round of job cuts.

According to LinkedIn, the company has more than a dozen workers in the country.
