Shopee has cancelled a number of employment offers last minute.

“I landed with my wife and dog and was told my offer [from Shopee] was cancelled while I was still at the airport,” a user going by “Lin Ge goes to Nanyang” wrote on his official WeChat account over the weekend.

Shopee is offering compensation of one month’s salary and travel expenses to those affected, according to a source close to company who declined to be named as the information is not public. Other areas of Shopee have also been affected by cutbacks this year. In June, the company laid off workers from its food delivery and payment arms, in addition to reducing staff in Argentina, Chile and Mexico, according to media reports, citing an internal email from CEO Chris Feng.
