Given Lyft have (had?) an office in semi-fascist state of Republic of Belarus, there's no wonder they are laying off someone. I double checked, the evidence of Minsk office is washed from their career portal. Yet, the old listings are there[0].

UPD. One more link was located[1]

what's the connection between having an office in a quasi-hemi-fascist state and layoffs?

Layoff to save rep among other things?

Issue is that most of those people have been likely opposing the government. Now they are out of their only source of income and wont be able to finance change.
