“In this quarter, our industry faced many challenges, including rising global inflation, foreign exchange fluctuations (and) complex political environment. These challenges significantly impacted overall market demand and our financial results for the period,” India Today quoted Wang Xiang, Xiaomi president.
Xiaomi has just now joined the club, but there are already many tech brands that have jumped into the race of layoffs long back. Recently Apple has laid off 100 contract recruiters and slowed down the hiring. Meanwhile, Google has also warned the employees about the layoffs, and employees are asked to work hard or else be ready to send their goodbyes to the company.
