In the era of AI explosion, everyone should be prepared for potential challenges. Many internal NetEase chat screenshots have surfaced, showing plans to lay off 30% of contractors starting April 1st, escalating to a complete layoff by May 1st. There are even reports suggesting it's not just contractors—certain formal employee departments are also being "reorganized." Allegedly, the Guangzhou team has already proven a successful "planners submit requirements + AI writes code + AI creates art + AI testing" mini-project model. After seeing the results, Ding Lei was delighted and is now aggressively promoting it across the company, meanwhile "clearing out" contractors.
