Match Group Megamanager Now Juggling 24 Employees, Zero Extra Pay
KEY POINTS
- •In early 2024, Match Group cut 325 employees, about 13% of its workforce, to streamline amid user decline.
- •Since November 2023, Chine Mmegwa expanded from managing three people to 24, including six direct reports across three continents.
- •Mmegwa now works about ten extra hours weekly with no pay raise, balancing back-to-back meetings and personal check-ins.
Chine Mmegwa, 35, Match Group’s Senior VP is now the office’s version of a firefighter-slash-juggler, overseeing 24 employees across three continents – up from three people and one direct report just before November 2023. Thanks to corporate America’s love affair with ‘flattening,’ she’s logging 10 extra weekly hours but cracked the pay-raise joke with ‘I’m a rational person.’ After Match Group slashed 13% of its staff (325 folks) earlier in 2024 amid Gen Z user decline, the Dallas-based dating giant deemed removing management layers ‘faster.’ Meanwhile, Zillow’s ex-cofounder gave managers trust-building workshops to survive this megamanagement madness.

(1 of 3)When they say fewer middle managers, they mean more work for fewer souls. China's megamanager now 24 people’s personal assistant AND fire extinguisher—still no bump for doing a HR circus act on three continents.
24 direct reports, zero pay raise, and ten more hours of meetings daily? This isn’t management; it’s corporate Stockholm syndrome.
Match Group turned a manager into a superhero without the cape or the paycheck. Coming soon: ‘Captain Overworked and Underappreciated.’
