AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/21 Report--

An entry about "NIO released an intern investigation report" made the top search list on Weibo today. As of press time, the topic has been read 180 million times and discussed 4576 times.

It is understood that Zhongxin Jingwei released a report last night that Lai Automobile released an investigation report on the recent intern incident. According to the report, the reason why the intern could not be retained was that the position was not established, and the team did not have school recruitment and social recruitment in 2023. At the same time, NIO affirmed that the intern's performance during the internship was recognized by team colleagues and supervisors.

Review of the incident: on March 3, a netizen named "did you pull the ice cream today" posted on the social platform that in his first month, a male colleague of the company sneaked into his room late at night and tried to rape him. After a two-hour battle of wits, the other party finally failed, and at the first time the recording backed up the evidence in advance, secretly reported to the police, and finally the male colleague was arrested on the spot. Because of the solid evidence, the male colleague has been sent to prison and is serving his sentence. In addition, the article also said: I thought it would be a victory, but the company reported that it would not retain itself. HR told her: "she is a risky person" and "will affect the image of the company" on the grounds that she refused to use her. As soon as the post was sent, it quickly aroused heated discussion among the majority of netizens.

On March 4, Xilai issued an information note, saying that after learning about the matter, it had immediately set up an investigation team on the evening of March 3 to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the relevant incident. According to the facts currently investigated: according to the report of the person concerned, on August 6, 2022, an intern surnamed Xu tried to rape him after going out. After the party made a report to the police, Xu was detained. On August 18, Xu was approved to be arrested, and on August 19, the company terminated the internship relationship with Xu.

The party left office on February 28, 2023 and posted a post saying that it had not been retained by the company and was discriminated against as a result of the above incident. The investigation team is investigating its internship retention process, especially whether it has been treated unfairly in the process. We deeply sympathize with the experience of the parties in August last year and promise to give them a fair and impartial evaluation of their work. Finally, NIO also said in the information note that Ulai Zero tolerates any illegal crime and sexual harassment, will conduct a thorough investigation into every reported incident received, and will resolutely deal with the confirmed non-compliance. We also call for respect and protection of women's rights and interests at work and resolutely put an end to sexual harassment in the workplace.

However, for this statement released by Xilai Automobile, the party concerned "did you pull the ice cream today?" said he did not agree. It responded to the statement released by NIO on March 5 and released the timeline of the incident. He said: he has an internship certificate and company email as proof, his departure time is not February 28 this year, but February 13. I joined Wei for an internship on July 27, 2022, and the last working day is February 13 this year. On February 21, NIO issued an internship certificate for itself. At the same time, the article also said that he had communicated many times about not being retained, but HR said that people who want "low risk" need to maintain the company's public relations image. On March 14, the person concerned "did you pull the ice cream today" posted a video again saying that it has been a week since his last response, and it may never be possible to wait for Wei to apologise and promise to correct the attitude of the public. It is also hoped that more companies will pay attention to the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace and provide a safer and fairer working environment.

In response to the incident, some professional legal personages pointed out that the focus of the incident was whether the reason for the intern's refusal to stay was reasonable and legitimate. If the party concerned has evidence that HR said that he is "a risky person" and "affects the image of the company", it can be considered as the main reason why the party cannot be retained. The case specifically involves the relevant provisions of the Labor Law, there is no labor relationship between ungraduated interns and employers, and the company has the right not to retain interns, but the parties may claim compensation and other rights according to the "internship agreement" signed with the company. If the above words are really the main cause of the company's personnel, it is difficult to investigate the responsibility from the law.
