On December 9th, Jin10.com reported that several people claiming to be Hisense employees posted on social media, stating that "Hisense Group is facing a large-scale layoff, with the number of employees decreasing from 110,000 to 80,000, and the layoff rate may be between 20% and 30%." Another netizen who was certified as a Hisense home appliance employee said on social media, "Half and half, the list will be released next week, with a total of 30%, divided into two waves before and after the New Year." In response to this, reporters sought confirmation from several Hisense employees, who all said they were aware of the news, but did not know the specific plans and proportions.
