In April 2021 LinkedIn gave its entire workforce of nearly 16,000 people a week off. Its chief people officer, Teuila Hanson, said, “What we think is most valuable right now is time for all of us to collectively walk away.” In June 2021 the dating app Bumble closed for a week, “as a way to thank our team for their hard work and resilience.”
In both cases the company granted the week.
