Bosch offers voluntary exit to 20,000 staff

Bosch will cut more than 20,000 jobs in Germany through a voluntary exit programme called 'Personal-Drehscheibe' (Personnel Turntable), launched mid-2024. No compulsory redundancies. By the article date, 1,500 employees had joined the scheme; 1,100 found new jobs elsewhere.

“Denn das, was Max beruflich am liebsten macht, nämlich Produkte für Verbrenner zu entwickeln, ist im Unternehmen immer weniger gefragt.”

In English: “Because what Max most likes to do professionally, namely developing products for combustion engines, is increasingly less in demand at the company.”
