The cuts primarily hit technology roles, and the company cited advances in its artificial intelligence initiatives as a factor. New CEO Mateus Scherer, who had taken the role earlier that month, announced the reductions in an internal message, framing them as a targeted adjustment within ongoing simplification efforts and saying there would be no impact on clients or partners. The São Paulo IT workers' union (SINDPD-SP) condemned the layoffs as anti-union, arguing they breached a requirement for prior union negotiation and pledging legal action. The cuts followed weaker Q4 results, with transaction-volume growth slowing to 5.3% year over year from about 9% the prior quarter. https://layoffcheck.com/companies/stone#2020-05 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/stone#2020-05-3984 Tue, 12 May 2020 12:00:00 GMT Stone reported a workforce reduction in Sao Paulo in May 12, 2020.
