京东否认大面积裁员并表示已报案
China's e-commerce behemoth JD.com denied the "mass layoff" rumor last Tuesday and claimed it had reported the case to the police. Last Tuesday, rumors went viral on China's social media that JD.com was to reduce its staff by 10 percent and its finance affiliate JD Finance (which has recently been renamed as JD Digits) by 15 percent. It was also rumored women who are unmarried and/or without children, as well as probational employees, will be released from their contracts first. The latest response from JD.com refuted the rumors, both about the layoff itself and the supposed terms, saying they are "exaggerations and truth-twisting". Normal staff turnover is a routine part of every company, and optimization based on employees' performances is also not uncommon. Each year, JD.com conducts performance evaluations for all personnel, grants incentives to outstanding employees and adjusts the positions for those whose performance does not meet relevant requirements, the group said in a statement. |
