Bird is paying around $300,000 to have all of Circ's scooters in the Middle East scrapped, the former employee told CNBC.

We look forward to resuming our service throughout more parts of the region later this year."of its workforce on a Zoom call, or 406 people out of 1,387 employees prior to the layoffs.
"They hung around after acquiring Circ and said they were backing us because we had 10% market share out here and we were in a very good position. Obviously Covid came in and they decided they didn't want to do it anymore. We were expecting pay cuts because it was a bad time with obviously no operation but then they turned around and made everyone redundant.
