Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi will this year lay off 15% of its employees, amounting to around 2,000 people, a move that follows rumors the company made record-breaking losses in 2018.
Sources close to the company told TechNode that Didi CEO Cheng Wei made the announcement at an internal meeting on Friday, saying that the ride-hailing giant would cut headcount and that some non-core businesses would be re-evaluated and cut back if necessary.
Didi declined to comment when contacted by TechNode.
