Tencent’s TiMi Denies Mass Layoff Rumors, Confirms 100 Staff Affected by Project Adjustment
Tencent’s TiMi Studio has officially denied widespread rumors circulating on social media platforms like Xiaohongshu, which alleged that the company was planning to lay off several hundred employees. The speculation was largely linked to adjustments within the Shanhai Xunling project team. In a statement provided to Sina Tech, a source close to TiMi clarified that the reports were inaccurate. While acknowledging that a project previously managed by the former TiMi J6 team has undergone structural adjustments, the source specified that the number of affected employees is slightly over 100, rather than the hundreds claimed online. To support these staff members, TiMi has implemented a two-month transition period focused on facilitating internal transfers. The studio currently lists more than 500 open positions, and it is expected that the majority of impacted employees will secure new roles within the company. For those who choose to leave after the transition period expires, Tencent has committed to providing N+1 compensation packages. This response aims to clarify the scale of the workforce adjustment and highlight the company's efforts to retain talent through internal mobility rather than outright termination.
