Staff at the dating app Bumble have been handed a 'much-needed' week off to help with stress.
The firm's head of editorial praised the decision in a now-deleted tweet, saying workers were 'burnt-out'.
Clare O'Connor added that the break felt like a 'big deal' especially as days off are 'notoriously scarce' in the US.
Tweeting her boss, Ms O'Connor said: " @WhitWolfeHerd gave all 700ish of us a paid week off, having correctly intuited our collective burnout.
"In the U.S. especially, where vacation days are notoriously scarce, it feels like a big deal."
A Bumble spokeswoman said the company wanted to give its teams an 'opportunity to shut off and focus on themselves'.
The break will end for the app's 700 workers on June 28.
A Bumble spokeswoman told Sky News: "Like everyone, our global team has had a very challenging time during the pandemic.
"As vaccination rates have increased and restriction have begun to ease, we wanted to give our teams around the world an opportunity to shut off and focus on themselves for a week."
Bumble's founder Whitney Wolfe Herd recently took the company public and became a 31-year-old self-made billionaire.
When Ms Herd, who had previously worked at rival app Tinder, first pitched the idea for a female-led dating site where women initiate chat, it took many CEOs by surprise.
And still to this day a lot of people disagree with her idea to challenge gender norms as people claim that women are less likely to take the initiative to kickstart a conversation — especially with members of the opposite sex.
However, the app has been a roaring success and it is now adapting to the post-pandemic world by offering new 'vaccinated' profile badges to users.
Bumble vice president Naomi Walkland said: “We know that single people are looking to take control of their dating lives as we head into summer.
“The 'Covid conversation' is already front of mind for two in three people on Bumble, so it's important to make it easier to feel comfortable and safe on a date.
“To do this, we'll launch a new 'vaccinated' badge along with in-app preferences so you can easily communicate if you're comfortable dating indoors or outdoors only.”
