Here is the English translation

In June, ASUS announced to employees through an internal letter that it would carry out an organizational reorganization, and although ASUS repeatedly stressed that it was not going to lay off employees, in July it cut the staff of the PC department, affecting the employees in Taiwan and Suzhou, China. However, ASUS's layoffs have not slowed down, and now an informed source revealed to the "Science and Technology News" that "this afternoon, some units in the commercial sector were called downstairs one after another, and the units including engineers and procurement were directly cut in half."

According to the initial ASUS internal letter, the commercial computer team planned and went to the mobile phone product department; People familiar with the matter pointed out that some talents have just been merged into mobile phone units, but they have been laid off; Originally, ASUS stated that after the organizational reorganization, the human resources association had internal matchmaking vacancies, but in fact, human resources did not want to match for these employees, and had to find internal vacancies by themselves.

As for why some employees were merged into mobile phone units, but then laid off? The person familiar with the matter pointed out that the Asus mobile phone has two series, ROG and Zenfone, but now the latest Zenfone 10 will be the last generation of this series, and the Zenfone team will be merged into other departments in the future, or directly into the ROG team.

It is understood that this wave of commercial sector employees who were laid off by ASUS will be until next month.

Here is more context ASUS layoffs, commercial team/smartphone division merger, esports consolidation and personal computer team

Best case is that they mean the Zenfone line is dead and the rog still lives. But even then that still hurts.
