Bengaluru: Reacting to media reports that it is set to lay off 700-1000 employees for poor performance, e-commerce player Flipkart on Friday denied any such move.
"Flipkart denies all allegations of a layoff," a company spokesperson said in a statement.
Earlier, media reports had said that under-performing employees - 700-1000 in number - will be given the option to resign or hand over the pink slip.
"At times, we have employees who do not meet the performance bar. In those situations, we work closely with employees to enable them improve their performance. In due course, if these employees are unable to make the desired progress, they are encouraged to seek opportunities outside the company where their skills can be better utilised," the spokesperson added.
"As a performance-oriented organisation, we follow a transparent evaluation process," the statement said.
