Spotify is closed Nov. 1-5 to give employees a “Wellness Week” [and what that means for you]

Spotify will be closed globally Monday, November 1st through Friday, November 5th, for a “Wellness Week.”

Spotify is giving all employees this extra week of paid time off to recharge.

But closed offices also mean no or at least curtailed services.

Plan Ahead

• Distributors are reccomending that tracks be injested early.
• Playlist updates will be minimal this week except for a few of the most popular.
• Spotify will resume normal updates and other programming on Monday, November 8.
• Expect minimal support if something goes wrong.
