JD Dismisses Thousands As Layoff Storm Gathers
The source said that over one thousand employees at JD.com exit the company every day recently.

BEIJING, April 1 (TMTPOST) — A large number of recently laid-off employees of JD.com had packed the Staff Service Center of the company on Thursday as they lined up to complete their exit procedure, Yicai reported, quoting an internal source at JD.com.

The source said that over one thousand employees at JD.com exit the company every day recently.

Many employees did not know why they were fired.

An employee who had worked at JD Logistics for eight years told Yicai that JD Logistics is laying off around 30% of its staff at the headquarters. The source said that the layoff list was provided by the human resource department at the group and that they did not know who were on the list. Laid-off employees are entitled to the N+1 compensation package.

A source told Yicai that JD Health is also laying off its people. “The health team will lay off around 20% of its staff. The Internet hospital, a project that had previously attracted a lot of investment, might streamline its team by 60% to 70%,” the source said. “At the beginning of January, JD Health was still recruiting people, but on January 17 it said that it was going to lay off employees,” the source told Yicai.

JD.com’s Jingxi is also undergoing massive layoff. The business unit will let go the teams in Guangdong, Sichuan and Jiangxi entirely, according to information provided by an employee. Jingxi’s platform research and development department will face a layoff rate of 25%. The business unit’s tech team is also affected by the layoff.

Many of the employees that got dismissed during this round of layoff were recruited from campus directly, Yicai reported, quoting a source familiar with the matter. Some of the employees recruited from campus could only get one month of salary as compensation.
