Autoindustrie: Abfindungsprogramm geschlossen: Tausende wollen BMW verlassen – nicht jeder darf
Der Andrang auf das Strukturprogramm des Autoherstellers ist groß. So groß, dass es nun vorzeitig beendet wird. BMW bietet den Angestellten großzügige Konditionen zum Abschied.
Munich: BMW has terminated its severance program just over two weeks after its launch. Since October 8th, thousands of employees have expressed their willingness to leave the company. This achievement marks the corporation's goal, as no more new applications will be accepted. BMW confirmed on Tuesday that it had reached the targeted figure "early."
The exact number was not disclosed. The company has set a deadline to conclude the program by mid-next month. This does not imply that the many interested employees will leave the company by then. Rather, they are expected to know if they can sign a release contract by then. The severance program operates on the principle of double voluntariness: not only does the employee wish to leave, but the employer must also agree.
The offers have been received by tens of thousands of BMW employees. However, only the fewest could initially accept them, as the portal crashed shortly after its launch due to the overwhelming number of employees wanting to know what their departure would be worth. The issue was resolved after hours of trying.
