A few months ago, an employee of the company had brought the ups and downs to the Chinese giant - With a text "collage" of 8.000 words, she accused her boss and a client of the company of rape during a business trip.
Alibaba fired the employee who a few months ago, had accused her boss of sexual abuse.
The Chinese technology giant decided to fire the employee from the company as what he claims is a lie.
It is recalled that last August, Chow, an employee of Alibaba, published a text of 8.000 words in which she described exactly what had happened to her. She had then brought the ups and downs to the Chinese giant, as she accused her manager and a customer of the company for rape after a dinner with a lot of alcohol and even during a business trip.
Salos was then caused in the media. The scandal sparked a heated debate on social media about discrimination against women in technology companies, especially in China. Wang, the director of Alibaba in question, was fired shortly afterwards, and two senior executives of the e-commerce giant resigned as Alibaba's Ceo described the company's handling of the incident as "extremely humiliating."
In September, prosecutors closed the case against Wang, saying his behavior was not a criminal offense and was not going to face criminal prosecution. He was charged with "violent indecency", which carries a maximum sentence of 15 days in prison.
Alibaba has since sought to create a better protection framework for its employees. She now has a hotline and a team of senior women executives dedicated to investigating allegations of sexual harassment. But the news of Chow's dismissal sparked a new wave of social media debate over the weekend. The post with the hashtag "Alibaba female employee fired" garnered more than 680 million views Monday morning.
"This move has caused more damage not only to Alibaba but also to society," a post read. Many, in fact, were the ones who questioned Alibaba's move. "As an internet giant, what Alibaba did was unacceptable. The dismissal of the woman caused new problems ".
