🚨Gate Responds Strongly to Former Employee's Allegations! Harshly Slams Departing Employee "M": Not a Supervisor, Caused Internal Strife, and Extorted Subsidies?

Regarding a series of departure-related statements made by former employee M that have sparked controversy in the community, @Gateio_zh has issued its first public statement to address external concerns.

First, @Gateio_zh clarified the facts: M was not the "Head of Spot Operations" as claimed. Their responsibilities were limited to the execution level of activities within the spot business line and never included management or decision-making authority.

According to the official statement: "During their tenure, M repeatedly failed to meet internal assessment standards and had serious communication friction with multiple departments. Company management intervened several times to coordinate and provide psychological support, giving them ample opportunity to improve." Ultimately, after careful evaluation, the company terminated their contract in accordance with the Labor Law and related regulations.

The departing employee's demands:
1⃣ Demanding payment of a huge amount of additional compensation
2⃣ Demanding continued provision of housing, social security, visa, and other subsidies after leaving the company

The employee's demands have deviated from common sense and even touched on legal boundaries. Despite the company's repeated goodwill and willingness to actively negotiate, M has refused to engage in dialogue and has engaged in improper behavior such as intimidation and extortion. Subsequently, Gate issued a formal announcement internally and maintained a transparent stance on the matter.

@Gateio_zh stated: "We have always respected every employee and will protect each other's rights in accordance with the law. However, we will not rule out taking legal action against malicious defamation, smearing the company's reputation, or disclosing sensitive information."

Statement Regarding the Departure of Former Employee M and False Statements

First, it needs to be clarified that former employee M was not the "Head of Spot Operations" as they claimed, but only responsible for a portion of activity operations within the spot business line. Secondly, former employee M consistently failed to meet the requirements of the position in multiple rounds of internal evaluations, such as being in conflict with almost all cooperating departments during their employment. Company leaders repeatedly mediated, instructed, and provided psychological counseling. We believe that the company provided sufficient guidance and support throughout this process, but ultimately saw no improvement, so their labor contract was terminated in accordance with laws and regulations.

During the departure process, the company immediately provided a legal and compliant compensation package (N+1). Unfortunately, the former employee did not accept it and instead made a series of unreasonable demands that far exceeded the company's policies, including:
- Demanding that the company pay an additional unreasonable amount of compensation
- Demanding unreasonable compensation such as continued housing subsidies, social security subsidies, and visa subsidies after leaving the job

The above behavior goes far beyond normal severance compensation and constitutes malicious extortion. We have repeatedly communicated and remained restrained, hoping for a peaceful resolution, but the other party has repeatedly refused to negotiate and even engaged in malicious intimidation. We have made multiple offers for friendly negotiation, but they have been rejected, and even illegal acts such as intimidation and extortion have occurred. We did not disclose this matter out of trust and goodwill, but then there were acts of inciting the emotions of the original team and provoking internal conflicts. The company could no longer tolerate it and issued a formal termination announcement within the company.

After the announcement was released, we also received feedback from some colleagues at former employee M's previous company that these behaviors had existed for a long time. We also regret that we did not conduct a thorough background check on them and have reflected on this. Character is always the most important aspect in the industry, and the Gate HR department will continue to strengthen the screening of personnel quality to jointly build a harmonious industry environment.

Gate always adheres to the principles of respect and fairness in handling personnel relations, but we will reserve the right to pursue legal action against any false accusations, malicious defamation, or company data breaches.

Parting on good terms is a sign of respect for each other. We hope that your future path will become wider and wider. The internet is a free place, but not a lawless place. Every adult must be responsible for their words and actions. The Gate legal team will continue to follow up on the progress of this matter.
