Chinese engineer flies to Singapore for job at e-commerce giant Shopee but offer is cancelled when he lands at Changi Airport

[TerrexLee]

Shopee, operator of the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, has cancelled a number of employment offers last minute, which gained attention in China when one worker posted his plight on WeChat after arriving in Singapore.


“I landed with my wife and dog and was told my offer [from Shopee] was cancelled while I was still at the airport,” a user going by “Lin Ge goes to Nanyang” wrote on his official WeChat account over the weekend.

The cuts from Shopee, owned by Tencent Holdings-backed Sea Limited, have largely affected technology positions in Singapore, where the company is based. Sea is one of many tech companies around the world cutting back amid a slowing global economy and fears of recession.


The company confirmed to the Post it cancelled some tech roles. “Due to adjustments to hiring plans on some tech teams, a number of roles at Shopee are no longer available. We are working closely to support those affected,” Sea said in a statement.

I'm looking forward to the day when Shopee goes bust or taken over by another company.

He has only Winnie to blame for this, not Shopee.

Chinese should let malays do the managing. You guys just continue to work under umno.

Typical heartless Malaysian run company. That's why I have never bought anything off Shopee. Their products are fraudulently described and posted and most are knockoff fakes.
I bet you won't get any refunds.

Shopee is owned by chinaman

No more jobs in Tiongland, so have to come here?

Might also be a refugee to escape the upcoming chaos in China.

Shopee thought they hired a CECA not a chinka. Hence they quickly canceled the job offer.

Knn damn unprofessional ass company. Where got make someone fly in from another country and then rescind.

Bunch of cocksucking monkeys managing Shopee. As usual, I know HR are a bunch of idiots. Not entirely surprised.

 

[eatshitndie]

many accepted tech job offers in sf kena rescinded when candidates resigned and took 2 weeks leave to prepare to join their new employers. double jeopardy. they tried going back to previous employers and told to fuck off.

Ching chong co. Is like 路边摊

I'm looking forward to the day when Shopee goes bust or taken over by another company.

Most likely there will be no buyer because there are too many junk companies created by Chinese communist terrorists
