Concretely, it is the end of a technical assistance contract with this customer who is at the origin of layoffs.
“It is not part of our core business, It was really technical assistance offered to a particular customer, explains Peter Cassar, founder and owner of Sherweb with his brother Matthew Cassar. It’s always flat to lose a customer, but despite that, the company is fine. We are going to be growing this year. ”
Mr. Cassar did not wish to identify the customer in question.
“What they told us is that they are in restructuring and that they ended the contract.”
Peter Cassar mentions that several employees quickly replaced each other.
“They had a long notice and several have already found another job,” he says. We had voluntary departures already and we redeployed some internal employees. These are not jobs that are finished here to relocate them elsewhere. It’s really the end of a contract. “
