Talking point: SkipTheDishes, headquartered in Winnipeg, was founded by a team of entrepreneurs, including Andrew Chau and Jeff Adamson, who have since co-founded the fintech company Neo Financial. It was sold to Just Eat for $110 million in 2016. Just Eat later merged with Takeaway to become Just Eat Takeaway.com. SkipTheDishes is the latest tech company to make mass job cuts. Nearly 118,000 workers have been affected so far across 805 layoff rounds at tech companies around the world, according to a layoff tracker, amid an economic downturn. Those now job hunting find themselves in an increasingly competitive environment as more talent floods the market.
