99 app makes mass layoffs in Brazil

Earlier this week, mobility company 99, which belongs to the Chinese group DiDi, began laying off employees in Brazil.

Around 800 people work for the company in the country. The cut list would include professionals from areas such as customer experience, human resources, security, social media and data analytics.

“To continue democratizing our services, including digital payment solutions with 99Pay, we conducted extensive assessments of our resource allocation across all lines of business. As a result of these and other operational factors, we have made the difficult decision to conduct an internal reorganization. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to a group of employees this week, to whom we are extremely grateful for their contributions.”

“Knowing that the macroeconomic situation also directly impacts our users and partners, we reaffirm our commitment to continue offering more accessible services to more than 20 million active users, generating value for the entire ecosystem we support”, says 99.
