Agence France-Presse writes about a major downsizing of IKEA staff in Russia.
The head of the Ingka Group, the management company of IKEA, Jesper Brodin, personally announced the dismissal of 10 thousand employees. According to him, the current year has challenged everything in the world, mainly due to rising inflation and an unstable geopolitical situation.
IKEA’s plans to lay off some employees in Russia were revealed in June. At the same time, the company announced the start of a search for buyers of Russian assets, which include four plants. In order to be able to return to the Russian market after the situation stabilizes, IKEA intends to retain around 700 employees.
