Huawei Punishes Staff After Iphone Used For Official Happy New Year Tweet by ibkayee(f): 2:16pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
Chinese tech firm Huawei has demoted two employees after an iPhone was used to send a Happy New Year greeting from its official Twitter account. The message wishing Huawei followers a "Happy #2019" on New Year's Day was marked with "sent via Twitter for iPhone" and was quickly seized upon by users who spotted it. Although the tweet was swiftly deleted, screenshots of the post spread across a whole host of social media platforms, including blogging site Weibo. In an internal memo sent out on Thursday, seen by Reuters, Huawei corporate senior-vice president Chen Lifang said the mistake had "caused damage to the Huawei brand". The error happened after the firm Huawei uses to outsource its social media pages experienced "VPN problems" with a computer and so used an iPhone with a roaming SIM card to send the tweet in time for midnight, the memo said. VPNs - or virtual private networks - act as a secure tunnel between devices, allowing users to send and receive data across public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. As Twitter is banned in China, anyone in the country wishing to use the site would need to use a VPN connection. Huawei tasks marketing company Sapient with handling its presence on Twitter and other social media websites, many of which are blocked in China. Neither firm has responded to requests for comment, but the memo revealed that two employees had been demoted and had their salaries reduced. The pay rank of one of the staff - Huawei's digital marketing director - will also be frozen for 12 months, it said. It is not the first time the use of iPhones has caused embarrassment for Huawei, which overtook Apple as the number two smartphone maker in the world in 2018 despite being completely locked out of the US market. https://news.sky.com/story/huawei-punishes-staff-after-iphone-used-for-official-happy-new-year-tweet-11598392

When your workers don't even use your brand, how do you expect people to buy your phones...i don't trust all these chinese companies with their funny names, same way they said Davido was using an Iphone even after being the brand ambassador for Infinix. 2 Likes

They should be sacked not demoted, what nonsense. With all the high end devices that Huawei has, the employees can't use any of them? 2 Likes

Like Ifa Buddhism is a philosophy contained within a binary code system. Chinese used the 64 bit, in the hexagram script of open and broken lines. Ifa uses short and long lines, sometimes cowery shells and the the chain instrument invented by Orumila. Ifa is the mother of all philosophy a binary system containing data of all information experienced by Yoruba. Christianity is just a belief system possessing only controlled amounts of ancient knowledge. All the Christian and Catholic clergymen are either Freemasons and or Jesuits sitting on ancient knowledge. Rome brings domination not enlightenment to indigenous peoples. |
