China Ecommerce Firms Face Scrutiny Over variable Pay Layoff Tactics

Optimizing products, refining operations, building strong teams, and implementing reasonable cost control are the keys to long-term success. This approach ensures both company growth and fair treatment of employees, fostering a sustainable and ethical business environment.
