Klarna CEO Posts Contact List of Cut Staff in LinkedIn Post (2)

The chief executive officer of Klarna Bank AB has polarized opinion on social media after posting a contact list of former employees recently dismissed by the Swedish company as part of a drive to curb costs.

Sebastian Siemiatkowski, 40, wrote on LinkedIn that he has “mixed feelings about this document” because it reflects both the caliber of the departing Klarna staff and a “very hard decision that saddens me deeply.”

Those named on the list have signed up for it voluntarily and it was created by an employee who remains at the company, a spokesperson for Klarna said.
