Autoindustrie: Wohl teils sechsstellige Abfindungssummen: Mercedes will erneut Personal abbauen
Der Autobauer will im Dezember ein weiteres Abfindungsprogramm starten. Es soll sich diesmal an weitere Beschäftigte richten. Insider sehen einen Zusammenhang mit den neuen Homeoffice-Regeln.
Düsseldorf – Mercedes-Benz is planning further voluntary staff cuts as part of its cost-cutting initiative, "Next Level Performance," according to an email sent to employees in Germany on Wednesday. The company has faced declining profits and sales for years, exacerbated by challenges in the Chinese market and increased competition from Chinese firms in Europe.
The reduction in workforce was previously announced in June, with the management calling it a productivity offensive. This initiative spans production, material procurement, and personnel, aiming to reduce costs across all areas. Between April 2025 and March 2026, the voluntary program affected 5,500 employees who left the DAX company.
