AlShaya Group, a prominent retail company in the Gulf region and the operator of Starbucks in the Middle East, is set to terminate the employment of more than 2,000 individuals due to the adverse impact of consumer boycotts associated with the Gaza war. These job cuts, which commenced on Sunday, account for approximately 4% of AlShaya's extensive workforce, consisting of nearly 50,000 employees. The majority of the layoffs are expected to affect AlShaya's Starbucks franchise in the Middle East and North Africa. As this information is not yet public, the sources preferred to remain anonymous.
