VK, 07 Jan 2019Huawei sick management never offers phone to its employees.... moreNot if its an official tweet. There are plenty of 'free to use' devices within Huawei. Those devices should have been used.

    Vegetaholic, 05 Jan 2019Poor guys, actually it should be employees right to use any... moreDid you even read the article properly before making a fool of yourself? The reason Huawei took action is not because their employee uses an iPhone... but because their OFFICIAL tweet was sent out using an iPhone, which in my view is perfectly understandable.

    An employee is free to watch as many sunny leone videos he wants on his iPhone as long as he doesn't send official Tweets saying "sent from my iPhone" on it.

      Huawei sick management never offers phone to its employees. not even a little discount is offered. In that case, employees are right to choose where should they spend money and what to buy

            They fined their employees a phone price.........lmfao.........hahaha...

              Vegetaholic, 05 Jan 2019Poor guys, actually it should be employees right to use any... moreOkey it is companies account, fair enough

                Poor guys, actually it should be employees right to use any personal device he wants. Dont really get this punishments. I would really consider to resign from a company who penalises me for using personal competitors device, it is not their business what personal phone do I use, what if it is just back up device? What if he uses Huawei phone as main driver? Stupid Huawei.

                      Besides they might be using Microsoft apps in Mac so that favours marketing their apps for Mac users.

                        I think they didn't want to make their brand look worse by firing them.

                                  It's Huawei's Official Twitter account. Why use an iPhone for it? Because it's better than a Huawei?
