The company has defaulted on its employee wages for a year after a crisis (via Gizmochina).<\/p>\n<p>The story is as follows: around 50 Royole employees are having demonstrations with banners and slogans at the company\u2019s Display Headquarters entrance in Shenzhen. Prior to the protests, they tried to talk with Liu Zihong, Royole\u2019s CEO, but nothing happened and they went on to protest against the company itself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a nasty situation, as employees have not received their areas and wages since November 2022 and are now demanding to get paid \u201cas soon as possible\u201d. Thousands of company workers have already left after a devastating ongoing financial crisis in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>The company says that their business has suffered significant losses and is only able to pay social security deposits, but that\u2019s not nearly good enough for the remaining workers. There are about 200\u2013300 employees who are still with the company, and who maintain the production line.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more about Royole\u2019s products, you should check out our review for the half-smartphone, half-tablet Royole FlexPai and once you read it, you\u2019ll know why we went with the \u201cAll show, little practicality\u201d title.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhere\u2019s the money, Lebowski?\u201d is one of those catchlines that will stick for another 25 years at a minimum.Royole workers, the world\u2019s foldable phone pioneer, might not be the greatest \u201cThe Big Lebowski\u201d fans out there, but surely they\u2019re saying that line right now.
