The e-grocery startup Sayurbox terminates a number of its employees. Again I must say, last December they fired 5% of their staff. CEO & Co-Founder of Sayurbox Amanda Susanti said that layoffs would be in the business to consumer (B2C) team because the market did not grow as expected during the pandemic.
Therefore, Sayurbox has combined several B2C warehouses, consolidating instant delivery services into same day delivery (same day) to improve operational efficiency. So they closed several of their warehouses, including Karawaci and Cibubur.
In addition, the company also restructured teams to other sales channels within the organization. As a result, Sayurbox will lay off several members in the B2C team. It was not mentioned how many employees were affected by the layoffs.
Amanda stressed that it will provide the necessary assistance to those affected by this decision, including the compensation package in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, the company also provides a number of programs, namely by providing access to job search platforms from companies that have vacancies. Not only that, Sayurbox also provides access to 'Vegegen Alumni Support', where affected employees can upload their CVs. After that, the resumé will be given to potential employers such as investors, partners, recruitment agencies and other companies that have job vacancies.
Amanda ensures that business to business (B2B) and B2C business and services are still running as usual and will continue to serve customers for next-day and same-day services for the Jabodetabek and Surabaya areas. "We understand that this is a challenging time for our team members and their families. We appreciate their contribution and are committed to providing support during this transition period," Amanda said through an official statement, Friday (4/14).
