Mass layoffs on Salihorsk Kupalinka

Director of Kupalinka told about dismissals in the enterprise.

Last year Kupalinka had billions of losses, onliner.by reports.

- Now the main task is to minimize losses and make at least a small profit this year. To do this, we need to cut costs and improve the labour efficiency. I have strong doubts that I will be able to freely decide on dismissals, but local authorities say they will support. Unfortunately, the old system results in losses. Now we have dismissed 70 people, unless the end of the year 100 people should be laid off. In total there will be 900 employees, including those working in canteen, dormitory and so on", Tatstsiana Yarota said.

However, she specifies that “natural decline” smoothes the process; it is when employees retire (the average age of employees is over 40), or simply change jobs (salary is not high). In such circumstances, the optimization of staff occurs in the form of non-hiring of new specialists.

The present situation is as follows: salary - Br3-4 million, goods in warehouses and logistics centers amounted at Br17 billion, debt from trade is about Br12 billion.
