A few days ago, Gree's official e-commerce account @ Mingzhu Yutong featured a video. Dongmingzhu, the chairman of Gree, made a commitment to Gree's employees that Gree would never lay off employees in any difficult circumstances. Dongmingzhu said that if it must be very difficult, we would rather reduce wages than lay off workers, so that everyone can have the simplest and most reliable guarantee**

Today, it is reported that Gree has deleted this video or hidden it. I just went to the account to confirm that the video is still there.
However, dongmingzhu's promise of no layoffs has also been found by some media. Sina News quoted a survey conducted by Caijing Tianxia weekly as saying that Gree has not made no layoffs in the past. On the contrary, many layoffs have been made. The total number of employees has decreased by 6900 in the past two years.
Although dongmingzhu claims not to lay off staff, the total number of employees of Gree, which she leads, has been declining in the past two years. According to the annual report, from 2019 to 2021, the number of employees of Gree Electric was 88800, 84000 and 81900 respectively, a decrease of 6900 in just two years.
In response to this matter, Gree said that on the one hand, it comes from the large turnover of personnel in the manufacturing industry, and the two-year span change belongs to the normal natural flow of personnel, and the employee base is still stable**
On the other hand, the company is also continuously improving production automation and intelligence, and promoting industrial transformation and upgrading. At present, the company has more than 10000 R & D personnel, and the proportion of skilled workers and skilled talents is also continuously increasing.
