Right now HUAWEI's fining employees who are using different branded smartphones, so what if they're using a different one too? @_@

    It's not too much to ask if you're working in a competitive market.

    I think an instant dismissal for head of departments & PR folks for promoting competitors.

      Guys, this is official account. I believe Huawei doesn't give a fck about what their employees use. But this is different story. Of course they should use twitter for Android.

      Blame Twitter for re-enabling this feature couple months ago.

            Smartphon, 04 Jan 2019Well deserved. should have fired them insteadHope your company doesn't forgive you as well and fire you for a mistake

              Well deserved. should have fired them instead

                they couldve not resulted in this humiliation of they gave huawei(android) phones to those employees handling their social media. for all we know, those employees are using their own personal phones(iphone) to tweet from their company's name.

                    I actually think they got off easy. Considering all that has been going on with US advisories all over to not use Huawei phones, any representatives of Huawei using an iPhone is giving merit to the US propaganda. Basically you’re telling the world that the brand you represent isn’t as good as the image you project. It’s a high class PR failure and a severe conflict of interest.

                              That's too kind, should be a direct expel. Really, when you're using company account, you're obliged to protect the company's image.

                                I would quit so fast my job for that fine and leave everything unfinished so they would learn a lesson about treating employees

                                  It would be fine if it was their personal account but company account is not OK seriously you dont want everyone to know you are using competitors phones

                                      Why do people here think the employees are fined, because of what they are using privately? This is a freaking company account. You simply don't use product of a competitor for this kind of twitter messages. This is about being professional.

                                      Ofc every company would love to see their employees using their own product. But when it comes to, it's work. Be professional!
