  "account": "VW's software subsidiary Cariad is set to cut around 1,000 jobs, affecting nearly a quarter of its 4,300 remaining employees. The company plans to negotiate with employee representatives and has reportedly terminated collective bargaining agreements. Cariad aims to maintain competitiveness by reducing investments by €6.1 billion from 2027 to 2031 and contributing €400 million to improving the operating result. The job cuts are part of a broader strategy shift under VW CEO Oliver Blume, who has prioritized partnerships with external software providers over in-house development.",
  "summary": "Around 1,000 jobs are to be cut at Cariad again. That's almost a quarter of the workforce. What's behind the austerity measures at the software subsidiary of Volkswagen?",
