At least 30 people bade farewell to their jobs at Resorts World Sentosa during the Chinese New Year period.

Singaporean news outlet The Straits Times reported that some of those who were let go were from the casino department, including pit managers and cage cashiers. The resort complex employs an estimated 12,000 people, according to the news outlet.

In an email to CalvinAyre.com, Resorts World Sentosa clarified what happened was “not a lay-off but part and parcel of Resorts World Sentosa’s annual team member performance review.”

“We constantly review our operational resources to stay relevant in this rapidly evolving business environment,” a Resorts World Sentosa spokesperson told CalvinAyre.com. “As part of our efforts to improve our service delivery in our resort, staff performance appraisal and movement is integral of this effort.”
