Foodpanda Layoffs

About

In May 2022, it was reported that Foodpanda's Romania office underwent significant layoffs following its acquisition by Spanish delivery unicorn Glovo. Approximately 89 employees, representing nearly 40% of the local workforce of 236, were asked to leave, primarily from the call center department. These roles were subsequently outsourced. The layoffs occurred in late January 2022, despite earlier assurances from Glovo representatives that jobs would be secure as they aimed to build a regional team in Bucharest. The food delivery industry consolidation led to this restructuring, highlighting challenges in post-acquisition integration and employee communication within the competitive on-demand services sector.
