Report on Workforce Adjustments and Severance Requests at BYD Auto

First Financial reported that BYD conducted workforce adjustments in its automotive business in 2011. Employees and an organizer cited in the report said some affected staff regarded the notice as abrupt and the criteria as unclear, organized signatures, and planned to discuss severance arrangements with the company. The report also recorded Wang Chuanfu publicly acknowledging layoffs and adjustments that year. The material is historical and concerns a specific business and interviewees' accounts at that time; it does not describe current employment practices and is not an administrative or judicial finding of illegality.
