GoBear lays off 22 employees across four countries

A bulk of them were from its Vietnam office.

GoBear has announced it had to lay off 22 staff from its offices in Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines and Ukraine, it said in a statement.

Broken down, six were let go in Singapore, four were from the Philippines, nine from Vietnam, and three from Ukraine. Affected employees were spread across GoBear’s operations, product, and technology teams, representing 11% of its total workforce.

Outgoing employees will be provided with post-employment support such as severance packages, job search tools, profile and CV building, and government support details.

In the past months, GoBear has been halting non-essential projects, slashing fixed costs and software licences to lower costs, the firm claimed.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
