中新财经北京4月19日电 (记者 葛成) 近日,一则“车企员工因购买并宣传其他品牌汽车被辞退”的消息在网络引发热议。据网友爆料,其在购买小米SU7创始版后,被原单位极越汽车以违反竞业协议为由强制解除劳动合同。对此,极越汽车在官方渠道发表声明,否认了这一说法,称网传信息与事实不一致。
极越汽车在回应中表示,员工姚某某被辞退一事并非因其购买某米汽车,但同时证实公司确实与员工签署了竞业协议。竞业协议是企业普遍采取的一种保护商业机密和竞争优势的措施,通常限制员工在任职期间或离职后一定期限内从事与原公司业务相竞争的工作。
尽管极越汽车否认了辞退原因与购买其他品牌汽车的直接关联,但此事件依然引发了公众对竞业协议合理性的讨论。有法律专家指出,竞业协议的执行必须遵循法律法规,不得侵犯员工的合法权益。如果员工在业余时间购买和使用其他品牌产品,不构成违反竞业协议的行为,除非该行为对原公司的业务造成了实际影响。
目前,涉事员工姚某某尚未对此公开回应,事件的详细情况仍有待进一步调查。极越汽车承诺将尊重法律,妥善处理此次事件,并呼吁公众理性看待竞业协议在企业管理和员工权益之间的平衡问题。

News Title: “Auto Company Fires Employee for Buying Rival Car? Jiyue Auto Responds: Not the Case”
Keywords: Non-compete agreement, auto company termination, employee car purchase
News Content:
BEIJING, April 19 (Xinhua Finance) – A recent report claiming that an auto company employee was fired for purchasing and promoting another brand’s car has sparked heated online discussions. According to netizens, an individual, surnamed Yao, was terminated by Jiyue Auto for breaching a non-compete agreement after buying a Xiaomi SU7 Limited Edition. Jiyue Auto has since issued a statement through official channels denying the claim, stating that the online information does not align with the facts.
In its response, Jiyue Auto clarified that the termination of employee Yao was not due to the purchase of a Xiaomi vehicle but confirmed that non-compete agreements are indeed in place with its staff. Non-compete agreements are a common practice for businesses to protect trade secrets and maintain a competitive edge, typically restricting employees from engaging in competing work during their employment or for a specified period after leaving.
Despite Jiyue Auto’s denial of a direct connection between the termination and the car purchase, the incident has ignited a public debate on the legitimacy of non-compete agreements. Legal experts have pointed out that the enforcement of such agreements must adhere to laws and regulations and should not infringe upon employees’ rights. Unless an employee’s actions using a competitor’s product negatively impact their original company’s business, purchasing and using products from other brands in their leisure time would not typically violate a non-compete agreement.
As of now, employee Yao has not publicly responded to the incident, and the full details remain under investigation. Jiyue Auto vowed to respect the law, handle the matter appropriately, and called on the public to view the balance between non-compete agreements in corporate management and employees’ rights in a rational manner.
