In August 2008, Mr. Yuan joined a company as the manager of the information technology department.
In July 2014, the company dismissed him as a team leader and adjusted him to an individual contributor on the grounds that he was not qualified for the job. On September 2021 of that year, he was assigned a task by email, requiring him to complete it within 7 days. He replied to the leadership, saying that the tasks assigned to him need to be completed by teamwork, and it is not feasible and universal for individuals to complete independently. The company terminated the labor contract and did not agree to restore the labor relationship. Recently, the Dongcheng District People's Court of Beijing heard the dispute and ruled that the two parties continued to perform the laborcontract.
