On December 24, Xiaomi Group PR General Manager Wang Hua published a post to refute the rumor that "Xiaomi will lay off employees at the end of the year". Wang Hua said: "Every year at the end of the year, there will be rumors of layoffs. This is the most outrageous one I have seen. A company with a scale of 6,000 people, 3,500 people, less than 10%, and 20% of the total must not report to the relevant departments first? Is this a lack of basic common sense? The funniest thing is, 'there is only one month left before the year-end bonus is paid', this person must not know what a fiscal year is! Anonymous workplace software platforms cannot actually hide identities, otherwise let's save some money quickly?"
