As a growing number of tech companies carry out successive rounds of layoffs, Shopify Inc.'s president says there are no more cuts in the works for the Ottawa-based e-commerce company.
"We're in a really good place."
Tech giants as big as Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Intel and Zoom have culled staff from their workforces along with smaller Canadian brands like Wealthsimple, Lightspeed, Clearco and HootSuite."I don't think we are going to grow our head count very much," he said.Asked what areas might garner hires, he said software and product staff are always in demand because there are fewer of them.
In designing the program, Shopify completed an extensive benchmarking exercise to ensure salaries are competitive, but executives warned Flex Comp will likely weigh on its 2023 outlook. "Cash gives certainty, but if you understand the business, obviously, you know, equity is what a lot of people want because they want to be able to participate in the upside there as well."
For those that want to head into an office, Shopify is maintaining some sites, including one at the King Portland Centre, not far from The Well. Many people gathered at the company's properties in recent weeks when it held a series of summits and hack days. Others joined virtually or invited colleagues living nearby over to their homes.
