On April 27, the publisher of "Computer World" issued a notice saying that from April 27, 2022, the company will suspend production and business, and all employees will be arranged to wait for work. Computerworld said in a notice that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the company has continued to suffer heavy losses. As of the beginning of this year, the company's cash flow has been cut off, and it has been unable to pay employees' salaries and other operating expenses. Even employees' social security provident fund expenses are paid by borrowing from multiple parties.
In addition, the company's foreign affiliated units have their accounts frozen and are deeply involved in disputes, resulting in the long-term stay of legal persons in other places, which further aggravates the company's crisis. Computerworld said the company was no longer able to stay afloat. After explaining the situation to the higher-level shareholder unit, the company had to decide that starting from April 27, 2022, the company will suspend production and business, all employees will be arranged to wait for work, and the company will pay living expenses (70% of the minimum wage) during the waiting period.
