Bumble, the dating app where women make the first move, has closed its doors for a week to give its employees a "much-needed" break to de-stress. 

Bumble which has staff of over 700 people worldwide has announced the entire the week of June 21 off, "as a way to thank our team for their hard work and resilience," company said.  

In a tweet that is now unavailable, a Bumble staffer in New York said that the paid time off was a result of CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd picking up on "our collective burnout."
