Bumble said it was closing all its offices this week to help staff deal with burnout.
A spokesperson for the female-led dating app confirmed the weeklong break to Sky News after Clare O'Connor, the company's head of editorial content, said in a now deleted tweet that the company's staff, around 700 employees, were getting a paid week off.
O'Connor said the company's CEO, Whitney Wolfe Herd, had "correctly intuited our collective burnout."
It is not clear why O'Connor's tweet has been deleted.
The spokesperson 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."
Employees are expected back at work on June 28, Sky News reported.
