Company’s statement on the layoffs from Linkedin
191 of our employees will be parting with us due to structural changes across functions at CityMall. After exploring multiple options, we’ve realized that there’re certain roles within the company which had to be dissolved to align with our evolving business model and the current business environment.
We will be providing outplacement assistance to all the employees who will be moving out of the company. Each & every employee affected by this layoff has contributed to building Citymall to what it is today, and this is one of the toughest decisions the company has ever had to make.
We have built a highly capable team at Citymall, and we’d be happy to share details of affected employees with companies that are hiring. Please fill this form for the same – https://bit.ly/3aZDEgb.
