On September 24, Liu Xing, head of public relations for Doubao, posted a statement saying: some media outlets reported an organizational adjustment in the Doubao Session team, and some self-media interpreted it as layoffs at Doubao and that the Doubao dialogue team had been cut in half. This information is untrue. In reality, it was only an organizational adjustment of responsibilities. According to Liu Xing, part of the functions of the Doubao general Session team were split off to Doubao's transaction and Doubao work teams, so personnel moved along with them. Many are also doing the work they did before. For example, transactions are also about optimizing the transaction dialogue experience. This team has fewer than 50 people, and the division-of-labor adjustment involves 11 people. Among them, 3 have resigned. Liu Xing emphasized that statements mentioned in some self-media reports, such as "layoffs at Doubao, which is used by 200 million people" and "the dialogue team was cut in half," are untrue.
