On November 12, news spread on the Internet that Tencent would lay off 50% of its employees. People close to Tencent told reporters that in fact, Tencent's management expressed a signal that they wanted to speed up organizational change during Tencent's 28th anniversary live broadcast on Linktime on November 11. The “50% layoff” was a misinterpretation, and the statement was untrue. People familiar with the matter told reporters that Tencent management specifically mentioned that this is not the same as “reducing costs and increasing efficiency” a few years ago. The previous one was relatively passive, and was more about “cost reduction.” However, this time, it is a proactive attack for the AI era, and it is more about “increasing efficiency”. The purpose is to stimulate the team to create new value and encourage frontline colleagues to actively raise their hands forward. The middle management needs to be flatter and more sensitive.
