Dreame reportedly saw around 10,000 employees leave or lose their jobs between June and the end of August, according to the WeChat account Zhiwei. Compensation reportedly ranged from 0.5N for probationary employees to N+1.

The report said Dreame’s automotive and smartphone teams now have few employees left. Its AI smart-lock business unit was reportedly eliminated, while most of its home-appliance research and development team was cut, with sales, supply-chain and selected middle-office roles retained.
