Alibaba fired a female employee who had accused her supervisor of rape. Her accusations had triggered widespread debate about the prevalence of sexual misconduct in the workplace.

The dismissal notice, which said Ms. Zhou’s firing was effective that day, describes itself as being issued by Alibaba e-commerce subsidiary Zhejiang TMall Technology Co. It said Ms. Zhou had violated the internal company code of conduct by spreading false information through fliers she distributed to co-workers, messages she posted on internal company messages boards and banners she unfurled in the cafeteria, “which aroused strong concern from society and damaged the company.

Ms. Zhou said she was in regular touch with the company and provided screenshots of communications with company employees that showed her asking multiple times for an extended leave of absence, which she said was due to depression she suffered in the aftermath of the allegation. The news of her dismissal, first reported Saturday evening by the state-run Dahe Daily, went viral on China’s Twitter-like social media platform Weibo, where the main hashtag related to the news had attracted more than 660 million clicks by Sunday evening.
