Layoffs hitting Zalando (self.cscareerquestionsEU)<br>submitted 8 hours ago by WildCitron7118

Layoffs hitting Zalando due to moving to a more "lean and fit for purpose" org.

Around 150-200 roles are at risk but the actual number may be smaller due to internal job transfer. Stockholm hub closing down, affecting around 50 roles. Handful of roles affected in the Dublin hub. Most of the impact is in the Berlin HQ.

When I worked there around 3 years ago, my team was doing stuff that any central team could take over making my team redundant. We were surviving somehow because of our project ideas otherwise who knows when the team would have been let go...

[–]HungryBackground2942 2 points3 points4 points 2 hours ago (0 children)<br>Agree. In 2023, in my team they created phantom roles to justify not laying anybody off - which I absolutely appreciate from the human perspective - but in the result, the work became even more ineffective. We were pretending to orchestrate things while other departments just worked without bothering we were there at all.

[–]Superb-Reach4019 [score hidden] 1 hour ago (0 children)<br>Is only for tech roles or other departments are impacted? I know people working in operation that are not aware of any layoffs
