In a LinkedIn post, Paul Burns, CEO of SkipTheDishes, announced the company is letting go 100 of its Canadian market employees as well as 700 operations employees servicing the global Just Eat Takeaway.com organization based out of Canada.
Here’s the full post:
Executives most often use LinkedIn to share good news stories about their companies. Today, I’m sharing some difficult news: Following a comprehensive review, we are restructuring our business and reducing the size of our workforce. This move affects approximately 100 Canadian market employees, along with 700 operations employees servicing the global Just Eat Takeaway.com organization based out of Canada.
For a brand and business built around community and belonging, having to say goodbye to valued team members lays heavy. In the spirit of transparency and respect, I’d like to share more on why this decision was made.
Decisions that impact people’s jobs are never simple or easy, however the measures we took are necessary to ensure we have the right resources and organizational structure in place to drive sustainable growth. A more focused approach will also ensure we continue to provide an enhanced offering to customers and exceptional service to all our stakeholders.
I want to recognize the human impact of these business decisions. We have hard-working, talented people leaving Skip. These decisions were not made based on the quality of their work or the contributions they have made to our business, brand, and culture, but on how closely roles map to our future vision.
To those of you leaving Skip, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for everything you’ve poured into this business. Thank you for sharing your talents with us – talents I have no doubt other companies will see tremendous value in. Whether you’ve been part of our journey from the start or recently joined our team, your contributions have mattered – to me, your colleagues, and to the business.
