On September 26, it was reported that Shopee, an e-commerce giant with operations in Southeast Asia, demanded that laid-off employees pay compensation for damaged work computers. In some cases, this involves covering costs of around 2,500 yuan ($349) for an Apple computer. Shopee confirmed this policy to Chinese media outlets, claiming that that it has affected less than ten former colleagues and that it is part of normal resignation procedures.
Established in 2009, Shopee is an online e-commerce platform headquartered in Singapore, operating under Sea Limited. The platform was first launched in Singapore in 2015, and consists of two departments, “Auction” and “Mall.”
On September 19 this year, Shopee was revealed to have initiated large-scale layoffs in China, and the proportion of layoffs in some departments was as high as 30% to 60%. Some Shopee employees said that this time, instead of layoffs in accordance with the overall proportion, some business departments and positions were “optimized” and adjusted. It has been less than a month since the cancellation of contracts at the Singapore headquarters that broke out earlier.
