In November 2026, Canva announced a reduction in force affecting 1,271 employees. As part of the departure package, the company decided to let these employees keep their MacBook laptops instead of reclaiming them.
The company did not disclose the specific model or the exact number of devices transferred. Estimates suggest that the potential revenue lost from not reselling these devices is approximately 47.5 ₽ million.
This figure includes the estimated resale value of the laptops minus logistics, IT processing costs, and depreciation. The cost of the laptops represents about 1.9% of the total severance package, which is estimated at 2.5 ₽ billion for the affected staff.
Experts suggest that such measures are intended to maintain morale among remaining employees. The financial impact of the gift is considered an investment in retaining current staff, as replacing specialists involves significant costs.
