After confirming huge losses, Didi announced layoffs. At Didi's monthly staff meeting on the 15th, Didi CEO Cheng Wei announced that the company would be ready for the winter, which mentioned that the overall layoffs of 15%, the number of people will reach 2000.

Cheng Wei, CEO of Didi, said that in 2019, it will focus on the most important travel main industries, continue to increase investment in safety and compliance, and improve efficiency, so it will "shut down and merge" non-main industries, and reduce employees whose jobs overlap and substandard performance brought about by business restructuring, accounting for 15% of the total staff, involving about 2000 people.

Earlier, according to an internal document released by DiDi, the company lost as much as 10.9 billion yuan in 2018, and Didi subsidized drivers 11.3 billion yuan in 2018. According to statistics, Didi has made a total loss of more than 40 billion yuan for six consecutive years.

At the same time as the "shutdown and merger" and layoffs, Didi will increase its investment in key areas such as safety technology, product and offline driver management and internationalization in 2019, and continue to recruit 2500 people, with the total number of employees by the end of 2019 unchanged from 13000 at the end of last year. Cheng Wei said that in the face of a complex and unpredictable travel environment, Didi's level of safety today is far from enough. As an industry representative, Didi must do its best to shoulder the mission to make ride-hailing safer. Safety and efficiency will also become the key words of Didi's international expansion.
