Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has pledged no layoffs this year.
阿里巴巴宣布今年不会裁员。
Alibaba will continue to recruit new staff, ramp up training programs and utilize more platform resources to help create more jobs, Alibaba's CEO Daniel Zhang told an internal meeting Thursday.
Talks about Chinese internet companies laying off workers were spreading on social media platforms recently, followed by a number of internet firms in the country announcing plans to cut payrolls.
"This year we will not lay off employees, but will greatly utilize the Alibaba platform to stimulate consumption and generate more orders for the manufacturing and services sectors instead," Alibaba quoted Zhang's remarks at the meeting, in a statement Friday.
One of the biggest values of online platforms is to create jobs, Zhang stressed.
