  "account": "A recent internal survey reveals deep dissatisfaction among Volkswagen employees with the company's external communication, leading to concerns about job security, potential layoffs, and the future of social benefits. The concerns are primarily centered around the actions of the company's executive team, particularly Oliver Blume.\n\nThe situation has become \"more than critical,\" according to Blume himself, who recently commented on the matter in an internal company publication. In response to these concerns, the company has scheduled nine extraordinary works councils to discuss the issues and address employee feedback.",
