Shopee Hits the Cut Board Again: What Singapore Workers Need to Know
Crunchy Reality: The Latest Layoffs
Who’s on the chopping block? Employees from HR, regional ops, marketing, product & engineering say the word “bye‑bye” this week.
How many? Roughly a low single‑digit percentage of all Shopee staff—yes, even those in Singapore and China got the dreaded email after Monday’s all‑hands meeting.
Switching gears – this isn’t the first time. Earlier, Shopee’s ShopeeFood, ShopeePay, Garena and Sea Labs units called in a few breezes.
Why the Shuffle?
Sea’s big picture: Part of the same cost‑cutting marathon the parent company, Sea, has been swimming through.
Feel the pressure: Global tech stocks are down and investors are looking for a fresh route to profitability.
Top brass making moves: Founder Forrest Li told the crew: “Salaries will pause, expenses will trim – we’re hunting that self‑sufficient jackpot.”
What’s in the Love‑Letter (or Compliance Statement)?
Compensation & Support – Shopee’s joint statement with the Creative Media and Publishing Union (CMPU) guarantees “appropriate compensation packages” that match market norms.
Support services – Get help with career coaching, job matching, and a bridge to the National Trades Union Congress’s e2i (Employment & Employability Institute).
Second‑chance aid – CMPU promises to stay in the trenches with Shopee, making sure the folks on the front lines receive all the welfare they deserve.
Indonesia’s Slice of Slice
News flash: Bloomberg reports 3 % of Shopee employees in Indonesia will be let go.
Who’s packing their bags? Marketing and operations units caught the cross‑fire.
What’s Next?
Keep it real: The team is tightening budgets, but promises to lean on business efficiency to keep the operation afloat.
Stay tuned: For anyone on the chopping block, remember: good wings do not simply flap away—there are matching routes and supportive hand‑holds waiting.

Bottom line*: If your name landed on the email, hang tight. The backing from Shopee and CMPU means you’ve got a safety net ready to help you bounce back onto the next gig. Stay positive and keep those resumes crisp!
