Lazada, a regional e-commerce company, is expected to lay off an undisclosed number of employees in Singapore, as part of its retrenchment exercise across Southeast Asia, The Straits Times reported on Tuesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
A Lazada spokesperson was cited in the report as saying that the company is evaluating selected roles across Southeast Asia, and that the e-commerce company will provide guidance and support to employees who will be laid off.
The move comes after Shopee fired hundreds of developer jobs globally earlier in June, along with Amazon confirming jobs cuts in the city-state, the report said.
