Volkswagen: “We’re making €18 billion this year, so naturally, it’s time to slash jobs and squeeze the people actually keeping the company running.”
Meanwhile, the execs are over here stacking 15-25% raises every year like it’s Monopoly money. But sure, cutting worker salaries by 10% will totally boost morale. Nothing says “we value you” like a kick in the wallet.
Man, this is the same story every time. Companies rake in bigger profits, then lay off workers like they’re the problem.
People who gave them years of work get dumped into poverty or instability, and the execs act like it’s just business.
Meanwhile, you know they’re gonna be knocking on the government’s door for some bailout money. Absolute joke.
