Ex-employee alleges quiet layoffs at Belgian supermarket Colruyt

A former IT employee of Colruyt Group has described a series of discreet layoffs occurring within the Belgian supermarket chain. The ex-worker, identified as Nick, stated that over the past few months, he processed numerous laptops belonging to colleagues who were leaving the company.

According to Nick, these departures happened in small, sporadic groups, typically consisting of five to ten employees at a time. He characterized the process as a quiet, ongoing round of dismissals rather than a large, announced restructuring.

Colruyt Group has responded to these claims by acknowledging that workforce changes are indeed taking place. While the company disputes the numbers suggested by the former employee, it confirmed that "in certain cases, the collaboration with employees is being terminated." This admission suggests that while the scale might be debated, personnel reductions are occurring within the organization.
