China's tech giant Huawei dismisses several product line executives for misconduct
(ECNS) -- China’s tech giant Huawei internally announced on Monday that several product line executives have been dismissed for violating company policies.
An audit revealed multiple instances of misconduct across several departments, including the ICT Product and Solution sector, the Semiconductor Business Department, the Human Resources Management Department, the ICT Sales and Service Department, the Terminal BG, and the Quality and Process IT Department.
The violations included acting as surrogate exam-takers, arranging for others to take exams on their behalf, and leaking exam questions to candidates during Huawei’s recruitment process. Additionally, several individuals were found to have profited from selling company information assets.
These actions severely violated the company’s employee business conduct guidelines and related business management requirements, it said.
The violators were required to return illegal gains and compensate the company for losses.
Earlier reports said that Huawei, along with other tech giants like Tencent and ByteDance, has adopted a "zero-tolerance" approach to internal corruption and similar issues, imposing large-scale penalties and even referring relevant personnel to judicial authorities for legal action since this year.
