The German luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz has prepared a striking plan to facilitate the layoffs of its administrative staff. As part of this plan, the automotive giant has offered to pay its employees 500,000 euros (approximately 20 million TL) if they voluntarily resign in order to reduce its workforce.
The German automotive company Mercedes-Benz has implemented a plan to reduce its workforce. The company announced that it would offer voluntary separation to long-term employees and pay compensation exceeding 500,000 euros (approximately 20 million TL). This step was taken as part of the company's cost-saving program aimed at reducing its workforce.
The rationale behind the decision is to have a business plan in place until 2034. Instead of laying off current employees, the company is focused on achieving a reduction in employment through voluntary resignations. In this way, Mercedes-Benz aims to avoid hefty compensation payments and lawsuits, preferring to offer attractive financial incentives to its employees to reduce the workforce. Although it is not yet clear how many employees will say "yes" to this offer, it is rumored that thousands of people will voluntarily leave their jobs in this context.
FORMER EMPLOYEES WILL RECEIVE COMPENSATION WORTH A FORTUNE
The German luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is in the spotlight due to financial difficulties, like its competitors. The new plan, which is considered the company's biggest measure to address the financial squeeze resulting from declining sales figures, foresees payments to former employees worth a fortune. It is said that the amount to be deposited based on the employees' bonus day calculations could reach 500,000 euros (approximately 20 million TL).
