cope better and snort more copium

Official Shopee spokeman:

“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,” Shopee told Tech In Asia.


But then again Shopee only good Shopee news is real news, anything negative is fake news!

The same idiots putting Shopee on a pedestal are probably the same ones who couldn't even get into it, let alone FAANG equivalents.

They see the $7k starting salary think it's some hot s**t. Cos computing and IT roles were offering crap pay for the longest time.

Front office and some non-front office starting finance roles have been offering comp far above $7k for decades, and finance folks don't go around worshipping their banks and shielding their employers from all criticism.

losing **** ton of money and still want to also pay non-tech fresh grad huge market premium

to shopee management: fire all the finance people in your company, it is too bloated!

actually it should be all the xmm in HR marketing comms that shld be fired

cut some useless tech ppl also. hire so many devs product still so bloated. clearly hired too many subpar devs that arent pulling their weight

true all should go

tech in shopee is obviously overpaid for subpar quality
shopee just a simple app why need so many people?

All the doom and gloom is fake news! Shopee is hiring even more aggressively than before from September onwards. Marching towards profitability with rapid expansion!

Lay off
 

You got layoff?

How many got layed off after today’s townhall?

Since u insider, why not U tell us

Cue *March of the Volunteers* music

Xi Xi Pi Wan Sui. Xi Xi Pooh Wan Sui. Mao Zhu Xi Wan Sui!

Supposed to start next week, but my offer was rescinded for SWE position. Is there any recourse I can take against Shopee?

contract signed already? look at the employment contract lor. u can write code means u can read an employment contract. what is the notice period. what are the terms for payment in lieu of notice.

the most important question is whether cost of legal action outweighs how much u can get back. anw, shopee is likely going to pay you in lieu anyway right.

Information on retrenchment or rescindment are fake. Probably scare tactics by competition to undermine the confidence in Shopee. I'm inside and I have not heard of any announcements, townhall or gossips regarding it.

Hi shopee HR

This forum more and more filled with 16-19 yo poly kids instead of actual jobseekers or employees

It’s reported on the news, channel 8. Would they share fake news?

Local safe foreigners not
 

Retrenchment is other sectors that is not making profit and losing money.
Not hiring is only those Chinese foreigners.
Still hiring local because Singapore law dictates 1 foreigner for every 5 Singaporean

20% rules. You guys didn't know meh?
This is what is called favoritism.

LOL shopee is profitable and earning money???
did j schooling offer you some weed or what

Shopee is a loss making arm of SEA. All other ecommerce competitiors are making profits lmao. They're being subsidized by other profitable arms of SEA Ltd.

Shopee booked an 800mil operating loss last FY. In a pandemic world when everyone's online shopping, no less.

Or are u the kind of dumb guillible fresh grad who reads abt Shopee fancy office on some stupid trash site like vulcanpost or goodyfeed n think that they're earning boatloads of profit??

The company confirmed that 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.

Singaporeans should boycott foreign e commerce apps like Lazada and Ali express and support Shopee, Singapore's pride and joy.

Shopee is China owned
 

Erm shopee is Chinese owned le.
They have close connection to China.
Which other company directly hire and fly China national over to take over local job...

A spokesperson for Sea told Reuters the company had "made some changes to improve efficiency in our operations that impact a number of roles", saying it would focus on the "long-term strength of our ecosystem".



If not for the recent influx of Shopee layoff or rescinding news, SEa would have quietly done layoffs hoping people wouldn't notice. Good that news outlets are calling them out.

The era of frivolous tech hiring of cmi devs and profligate spending is over.

This is fake news. SEA is doing great. Hiring like a lion.

Leech
 

Shares dropped.
Lost billions.
Still hiring like a lion.
Sounds a like typical Singapore company.
More people to leech the company dry of fund before jumping to another

s://.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/sea-cuts-some-garena-unit-jobs-shuts-projects-sources-say

Employees were told staff numbers at its gaming live stream business and its development arm would be cut, sources said.

Sea Labs, the tech conglomerate's development arm, was shutting some of its biggest experimental projects and cutting staff, including blockchain and public cloud projects, the source said.

Low tech
 

Its like that one.
Alot of techie talked so big in interview like they some superstar can master all sort of technology etc.
First week come work. Ask to design and implement this module.

Dunno how.
Ask to research on how to do block chain.
Don't know how.
Ask to read sdk and fix some performance issue in existing system.
Dunno how.

Hire for what.
Fired lo.
This is good. Every Tom dick and Harry also become tech guru.
More competition. Cut pay.
About time.

Now all this overpaid techie can find job and get offered low 4k now haha.

LOL saltiest thing i ever read, why dont you join us as an "overpaid techie"? oh wait, you probably cant cut it huh? stay salty with your low pay ba

Imagine being so butthurt and a loser at life that you spend your free time just posting on here talking **** about a bunch of "tech wannabes" as you kids call it whom you don't even know.

The true pinnacle of being a true blue Singaporean. Pwn people you don't even know online, for absolutely no reason and try your absolute hardest at trying to justify it while fumbling around like a typical dipshit Singaporean.

The best part is people trying to act like they know how the market works yet they're not even in the tech field. Amazing. Go back to your ******** part time job.

Why so butthurt. second rate devs like you who can't get into more reputable tech firms hv to settle on china internet pasar malams lor. mei you ban fa de. life is like that. there are high fliers and then there are people like you.

whats wrong with criticising the poor management of these kind of second rate companies that dont know how to control costs properly. all businesses have to learn it. some learn it the hard way.

The sinkie pawn sinkie part is so true man and sad at the same time. I work in a team with 90% of the people from china and I can say that the people in china aren’t even like that. Something rlly wrong with sg culture in just wanting to bring others down

Yup, nothing we can do about it bro, sinkie pwn sinkie ingrained into all these low-class low education loser brains.

u will never see any upper-class sgreans pwning people lol theyre too busy making money and enjoying life unlike u peasants crying on here about some ******** company no one cares about.

You are so farking dumb LOLOLOL you basically proved that poster's point LOL jialat, sibei hopeless

Why are Shopee "SWEs" so insecure these days? Have to desperately write long text to reply to anonymous users?

This forum logic: u disagree with me in this thread means u work for shopee

Sibei mahai. Next time I make a thread and say "sinkies are dogs" and if u disagree, means u FT dog.

Jialat, no wonder angmohs come here laugh at us, Indians also take all the high paying jobs. Sinkies need work at China 996 company just to earn average tech pay.

Colonial mentality.
Similar to Hong Kong people, when oppressed by the British they have no where else to vent their frustration so they vent it on their fellow people.

100% exactly this.

Our tech market is already dominated by foreigners yet you idiots still wanna pwn locals and laugh at how locals might get fired from Shopee.

tf? what the fk am I reading.

This is the fking stupidest thing I've ever read.

Holy fk.

The only thing you are qualified to criticize is your parents for raising such a dumb fk like you sitting on your high horse thinking anyone gives a fk what you think about top tech companies that are still dishing out a ton of $$$ and backed by chinese billionaires.

Singaporeans are the most toxic people on earth. The funny thing is they like to point fingers at others being toxic not realising they are the reason for the toxicity.
