On April 17, Weibo, whose Weibo authentication information is "the official Weibo of the Legal Department of Jiyue Automobile", issued a statement saying that it was recently rumored on the Internet that Jiyue Automobile was fired because of the employee Yao Moumou's purchase of a certain meter car, which is contrary to the facts. For the sake of positive hearing, the company clarifies as follows:
Jiyue Automobile was not fired because Yao Moumou bought a certain meter car, the full picture of the facts is first, Yao Moumou, as a staff member in charge of social media/private domain operation in the user development department, since the beginning of 2024, has registered an account "Da Yao Tok" in his personal name on multiple social media, including Weibo, B station, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Know Chedi, Video Account, etc., and continues to operate a car fan group for a certain meter brand. And only publicize the relevant content of a certain rice brand model, which has the attributes of self-media, which directly conflicts with the responsibilities of its position, and seriously violates professional ethics and non-competition obligations.
Secondly, according to the timestamp of the publicity of Yao's above-mentioned social media account, his publicity and distribution behavior occurred many times during normal working hours. In other words, Yao Moumou engaged in the above-mentioned conduct that was unrelated to the company's affairs during working hours and was obviously contrary to his own job duties and professional ethics. Company records show that Yao Moumou also had many unexcused absenteeism, in particular, Yao Moumou was absent from work on April 3 and went to Beijing to participate in the pick-up ceremony of a certain meter car, and spread it on the above-mentioned social media platform with the title of "Mr. Lei gave me the car door", which was publicly reported by multiple media. Jiyue Automobile believes that Yao's above-mentioned behaviors have seriously violated the company's labor discipline and system, and the company's unilateral termination of his labor contract is legally valid and reasonable.
Jiyue Automobile also pointed out that after Yao Moumou was terminated from the labor contract, he used the "Da Yao Tok" account to publish false information such as "I was fired because I bought a certain rice car company" on multiple social media platforms, and took the initiative to contact various media accounts to spread and other behaviors, which have seriously damaged the company's external image and reputation. Jiyue Automobile has collected evidence for this and reserves the right to further investigate.
In the statement, Jiyue Automobile also said that Jiyue Automobile has always adhered to an open and inclusive attitude, actively participated in the development of the new energy vehicle industry, and cherished every participant in the same industry. In fact, no matter what brand of vehicle the employee drives, the company provides parking spaces and convenient charging facilities for employees in the exclusive parking lot of the work area.
