New Delhi: Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
Has fired 10 staff to publish an employee account on charges of sexual violence against the former manager, people who are familiar with the problem, when the e-commerce giant moves to resolve Chinese technology cases.
Alibaba announced internally last week it fired the group to share a terrible account posted in an internal forum by a united colleague Zhou, who accused a former rape manager.
Their violations include sharing a screenshot of women’s posts in the public domain after removing watermarks that make their ID, said people, asking not to be identified to discuss internal problems.
Three other people have been reprimanded because they make inappropriate comments in the public forum, they added.
Zhou’s account became a viral this month and played the company No.
2 Chinese into the highest profile harassment symbol that is considered prevalent throughout the Chinese business and technology company, a by-product of the environment that often prioritizes cultural achievement.
Alibaba has rejected the defendant’s manager and received the resignation of two senior executives, acting after this case triggered a debate about sexism among the company.
Chief Executive Officer Daniel Zhang has recognized handling complaints of his company is “insults.” Zhou’s account was forced to drink excessively and harassed during and after dinner with the client has raised sympathy spread over the situation, including internally.
But Alibaba has a little choice but to fire the 10 employees concerned because they violate a very strict policy towards uncovering the content carried out on the employee forum, the people said.
The internal platform – which is open for 250,000 Alibaba employees and many in Fintech Giant Group Group Co.
– is considered forbidden and the company has fired other people because they divulge information in the past, they added.
Alibaba’s representative did not immediately respond to a written request for comments.
Alibaba’s incident this month shone the spotlight on criticism which was ignored by Chinese women, was troubled or forced to take part in the ritual that was dominated by men such as drinking with clients, then set aside abuse.
Coinciding with intense government supervision of problems ranging from exploitative and monopolistic behavior towards abuse of low wage workers.
Zhou posted his long internal account after claiming not to make progress in two weeks complaining directly to the supervisor and human resources, culminating in the protest during dinner at one of the alibaba staff cafeterias.
The company launched an internal probe after the demonstration was arrested in the video and viewed millions of times online.
Alibaba then openly rebuked his head of human resources, established a hotline for complaints of sexual harassment and created a high-level committee to resolve future disputes.
Alibaba made the decision to fire 10 workers after wrapping an internal investigation in recent weeks, other people who were familiar with the problem.
It has not announced the final results of the investigation to the public, they said.
The Chinese police made their first arrest in the case last week, a former employees of Jinan Supermarket Hualian Surnamed Zhang who at dinner with Zhou.
