MICA Team Reportedly Conducts Massive Layoffs Without Compensation, Sparking Controversy Over Internal Management

Recently, screenshots circulating from Chinese forums have accused MICA Team of conducting massive layoffs. The situation is exacerbated by reports that employees were not only denied legal severance but were also subjected to 'trap exams'—mandatory, obscure tests designed as a pretext to terminate them without compensation.

The community reaction has been intense. Commenters pointed out that regardless of the year-end climate, firing employees without mandatory notice or 'N+1' severance pay is a direct violation of labor laws. Many suggested that affected staff should immediately pursue arbitration. Analysts in the thread noted that the company’s struggle to secure new licenses and their decision to juggle multiple projects on limited revenue likely pushed them toward these drastic, potentially illegal measures.

While some users cautioned that anonymous claims on platforms like Maimai (often dubbed the 'Chinese version of Glassdoor's story-telling corner') should be taken with a grain of salt, the frustration toward the developer, Yuzhong, remains palpable, with some fans lamenting that his leadership has strayed far from his original vision.
