A few days ago, the official account of Gree e-commerce, @明珠宇同奇 published a video in which Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of Gree, made a promise to Gree employees that Gree would never lay off employees under any difficult circumstances.
Dong Mingzhu said,If it must be very difficult, it is better to drop a little salary than lay off employees, so that everyone can have the simplest and most reliable guarantee.
Today, there is news that Gree has deleted this video, or has hidden the video. I just went to my account to confirm that the video is still there.
However, Dong Mingzhu’s promise of not laying off employees has also been found by some media. Sina News quoted the investigation of “Financial World” Weekly, Gree not only did not avoid layoffs in the past, on the contrary, there were a lot of layoffs. The total number of employees has decreased by 6,900 in the past two years. .
Although Dong Mingzhu claimed that she would not lay off employees, the total number of employees in Gree led by her has been declining in the past two years. According to the annual report data, from 2019 to 2021, the number of employees of Gree Electric Appliances was 88,800, 84,000 and 81,900 respectively, a decrease of 6,900 in just two years.
Gree responded by saying,On the one hand, it is due to the large flow of personnel in the manufacturing industry, and the change in the span of two years is a normal natural flow of personnel, and the employee base is still stable;
On the other hand, the company is also continuing to improve production automation and intelligence, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. At present, in addition to more than 10,000 R&D personnel, the proportion of skilled workers and skilled talents is also continuously increasing.
