    NINJA Van’s latest round of job cuts has mostly hit junior roles across its tech offices in Indonesia and Vietnam, as well as 5 per cent of junior tech roles in Singapore.

    The logistics startup announced the cuts at a compulsory meeting called for tech staff on Monday (Jul 1). A source said that the headcounts in all tech departments were slashed; after the meeting, affected employees received calendar invites to be told the news.

    This is the second round of layoffs, following an internal review, said a spokesperson for Ninja Van. “Unfortunately, despite our efforts to minimise impact, we were unable to avoid layoffs impacting 5 per cent of our colleagues in Singapore,” said the spokesperson.
