Sea Limited memo reveals 3% of Indonesia Shopee workers to lose their jobs

Sea Limited is intending to mitigate losses.

Global consumer internet firm, Sea Limited, will lay off 3% of employees in e-commerce arm, Shopee, in Indonesia to address losses and restore investors, according to a report from Bloomberg.

In an internal memo witnessed by Bloomberg, Sea Limited will start informing affected employees in Shopee.

The Singapore-based firm lost about $170b of market value amidst increasing interest rates and intensifying competition from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. in its Asian stronghold.

Sea’s e-commerce division already left major markets in Europe and Latin America. In addition, the e-commerce firm was banned from India due to pressures from Chinese companies.

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
