How to apologize for Xiaomi's school recruiting storm?

On the evening of September 22nd, some netizens in Weibo posted that Xiaomi Company held a recruitment seminar in Zhengzhou University, which was not limited to recruitment majors, and attracted many students to participate actively.

At the presentation, Qin Tao of Xiaomi Company said, "If you major in English or Arabic, you can come because we have overseas markets. If you are a Japanese major, you can go, or I suggest you engage in a film career! " This remark caused the students present to burst into laughter, but the students majoring in Japanese felt very embarrassed and some people left on the spot.

After the incident caused concern, on the afternoon of September 23rd, the employees involved issued a statement in their personal Weibo, admitting that they had made inappropriate remarks at that time, and said that they had apologized to the students that morning.

On September 24th, Xiaomi's human resources department also issued an internal notice saying that Qin Tao had immediately apologized to the parties concerned, obtained their understanding and made a profound review to the company. At the same time, Xiaomi officially apologized to the public for this matter, and conducted a company-wide informed criticism on Qin Tao, the employee involved.

Xiaomi said that this problem reflects the serious shortage of employee training in HR work, and the company will improve relevant systems as soon as possible to prevent such things from happening again.

I hope Xiaomi company can take a warning.
