Dongxue Dongbiao Brand Department moved to Wuhan "only 5 days to consider or otherwise dismissed" is false

After Dongfeng Citroen and Dongfeng Peugeot have stepped out of Wuhan for nearly a decade, on the morning of January 10, Shenlong Motor’s official announcement stated that since January 15, 2018, Dongfeng Citroen and Dongfeng Peugeot will move to Wuhan jointly. The headquarters is centralized, and the main functions of the dual-brand marketing department are concentrated in Shanghai.

According to the official website announcement, this relocation is intended to “enhance the efficiency of communication and decision-making in the company’s marketing.” In fact, the reporter noted that as early as July 2016, PSA China and Asia Pacific headquarters had already moved from Shanghai to Wuhan, which was considered by the industry to be a sign that both PSA and Dongfeng are promoting integration.

In this regard, Dongfeng Motor executives told the Securities Daily reporter earlier this year that although PSA can attract talents in Shanghai, the operating costs in Shanghai are too high. Putting the headquarters in Wuhan is pragmatic.

It is worth noting that when he mentioned that "there were several legal companies in the near future, including Dongfeng Peugeot, Dongfeng Citroen, and Dongfeng Renault, basically all returned to Wuhan." He said, "Wuhan now has convenient transportation and many talented people. The cost of the construction at the north is too high. Now the whole operation idea is that the long pain is worse than short-term pain."

The letter mentioned that “on the morning of January 10, the company’s headquarters suddenly sent a working group to announce the relocation of its Beijing office to its employees at the internal staff meeting. It must arrive in Shanghai or Wuhan within five days or accept severance.” The open letter pointed out that before this, the company never asked all Dongfeng Peugeot employees to ask for opinions on the relocation or introduced the relocation plan, nor did it explain the reason for the relocation. Only giving 5 days to consider the time was "demanding harsh and tough people".

In response, the "Securities Daily" reporter contacted the relevant person in charge of Shenlong Company in the afternoon of January 11. He told reporters that the company that was uploaded on the Internet required employees to "must move to Shanghai or Wuhan office on the 15th of this month, and Give only 5 days to consider time, (otherwise) or accept severance. He said that January 10 is the time the company officially announced to employees, and it is also the beginning of the company's negotiation with employees to change the working place of the labor contract. January 15 was the time for the company to notify employees to travel to Wuhan for a meeting.

According to him, for the employees who agreed to move with the organization to Wuhan or Shanghai, the company will provide transitional resettlement, relocation transportation fees, moving expenses, resettlement holidays, settlement subsidies, rent subsidies, liquidated penalty for departures, and family visits. Treatment, and provide support for issues such as accounts and children's enrollment.

For employees who do not agree with the family organization or other reasons to migrate to Wuhan or Shanghai, they do not agree with the employees who negotiate to change the work place of the labor contract. The company understands and respects their personal choices, and will terminate the labor contract according to law and pay legal fees. Monetary compensation.

He told reporters that the relocation of the offices of the two brand offices of the company is a strategic move that the company’s management has made after careful research and decision. The purpose is mainly to strengthen marketing synergy, improve communication and decision-making efficiency, and accelerate “return to the track”. The company encourages and welcomes the related employees of the two brand departments to move to the new office with the organization, and does its utmost to provide employees with the appropriate convenience and support.
