In a significant move reflecting the shifting priorities of the global tech industry, Shopee, the e-commerce giant owned by Singapore-based Sea Ltd, has laid off hundreds of developers.
在一項反映全球科技產業優先事項轉變的重要行動中，總部位於新加坡的 Sea Ltd 旗下電子商務巨頭 Shopee，已裁撤了數百名開發人員。
As of June 2026, these cuts account for roughly 8% of the company's developer workforce, with a specific focus on quality assurance roles.

儘管面臨挑戰，該公司聲明將為所有受影響的員工提供支援方案，並在此過渡期間遵守當地的勞工準則。
