Chinese engineer flies to Singapore for job at ecommerce giant Shopee but offer is cancelled when he lands at Changi Airport

A Chinese engineer said he learned ecommerce giant Shopee rescinded his offer after landing in Singapore with his wife and dog. The city state is an attractive destination for Chinese workers and companies amid a slowing economy at home, but cutbacks are roiling tech firms worldwide. — SCMP

Shopee, operator of the largest ecommerce platform in South-East Asia, has cancelled a number of employment offers last minute, which gained attention in China when one worker posted his plight on WeChat after arriving in Singapore.

“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.
