Heytea was exposed to large layoffs: involving 30% of employees, some departments were completely laid off

According to Sina Finance, on February 9, the news was that Heytea was implementing layoffs internally. Confirmed with a number of Heytea employees, the main information includes:

1. The internal layoffs have been initiated years ago, and some of them will be laid off after the year, involving 30% of the employees overall. Some employees said that all employees did not have year-end bonuses, and another said that "deferred payment".

2. The information security department was all laid off, and the store development department was cut by 50%. Internal analysis believes that the development of Heytea has reached a bottleneck period, and the store department is no longer important.

3. The laid-off employees will be compensated by normal N+1, and they can also choose to transfer internally to other departments, such as technical posts to business posts.

4. The annual meeting has become the last straw that overwhelms the hopes of many employees. There is no meal, very little welfare, forced everyone to stay at 10 pm, and participated until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. On the live screen of the annual meeting, messages such as salary increases and year-end awards were spread all over the screen.

5. Also at the annual meeting, founder Nie Yunchen publicly commented that there were drawbacks in friendly business, which was regarded by employees as "lack of pattern".

In view of the reasons for this round of layoffs, a more common view is that Heytea has not performed well in the past year, "may be forced by financial pressure to prepare for listing." Streamlining human resources can make the financial report look better." In response, Xicha responded: "I have not heard of the layoffs. ”
