Years of mismanagement made him do this! With the good numbers he singlehandedly will create he will get a bonus so big half of what is created can get to the management!
A tall order from some leech who hasn't done any productive work in all his life while making millions from other people's work.
LMAO! Coming back to nazi roots? Does this dude want to find a group of people to force to work for free ?
Tax this fucking guy's wealth. He's way too cozy in his damn ivory tower. #TaxWealthNotWork
sure my dude, go ahead, work longer hours
Volkswagen can crash and burn what all I care anymore. Bad for the actual people that do the work sure, but we can't support the lifestyle of those CEOs anymore!
After decades of keeping wages low to the point where we have a low 2-digit percentage in real wage increases in the same time frame that saw +250% real economic output per capita...
And at a time when the German economy suffers from low domestic demand in particular, caused by low disposable income...
They know how to improve the economy: by lowering wages
Fuck off to your alternative reality where "the economy" is synonymous with the insane wealth increases of the upper <1% at the expense of everyone else!
German neoliberals (which most CEOs of our larger corporations are) and empirical data don't really mesh well. It's why most of them still clutch the neoclassical "school" of economics, which has zero empirical data behind its basic assumptions.
If only there was a mechanism for new companies to challenge and outcompete dinosaurs. Unfortunately, the regulatory capture emerging from capitalism and explicitly supported by our electorate means barriers of entry are drawn such that it's almost impossible to challenge entrenched wealth, unless being backed by rival entities of comparable wealth.
The CEO is not going to get his new yacht if everyone has your attitude.
Before you all grab your forks and pitchforks, keep in mind that in Germany a workday is 7 hours (now you can grab 'em).
All I ever hear from Volkswagen is mass layoffs. Asking for longer work hours is bad already but with this background itβs pure evil. Theyβre evil and if they can only stay competitive being evil theyβre a net negative for society and should just disappear.
Let's hope they don't introduce China's 996 working culture as its Chinese rivals do ...
Well...
The company was literally created by the nazis...
And how is that relevant?
What was the motto on concentration camps?
Do you not see how that phrase would be relevant to:
We're making our workers work more, for the same money
Like, I'd thank you for asking a question to learn what you didn't know, but it seems like you were asking rhetorically because you couldn't image there was a valid connection...
