SCANDAL at Bosch: 600 jobs at risk – working hours reduced to a shocking 35 hours!
Bosch is cutting the working hours of 600 employees in Gerlingen from January 2026 due to economic challenges.
SCANDAL at Bosch: 600 jobs at risk – working hours reduced to a shocking 35 hours!
In a shockwave like no other, technology giant Bosch today announced the shocking decision to cut the working hours of around 600 of its employees at the Renningen and Hildesheim research sites so drastically that the entire workforce is thrown into panic! From January 1, 2026, weekly working hours will be reduced from the current 38 to a modest 35 hours, which will not only result in a change in lifestyle, but also massive salary cuts!
As the Swabian reports, the shocking reason for this decision lies in the catastrophic economic situation and the disappointing market expectations in new technological fields. While the industry is fighting for its future, Bosch is desperately trying to secure jobs, but this is by no means a solution for those affected.
Job cuts on a shocking scale!
But that's not all! As part of its extensive cost-cutting measures, Bosch plans to cut up to 1,560 jobs at various locations in Germany, including the plant in Reutlingen and the subsidiary Bosch Engineering in Abstatt. A breathtaking picture of fear emerges!
The situation is getting worse because Bosch will cut almost 15,000 jobs globally, and the wave of uncertainty is not only sweeping through Germany. The automotive supplier, household appliance and tool sectors are particularly affected. Bosch is suffering from an alarming demand situation for vehicles, especially electric cars, and sales of household appliances are stagnating!
The people at the center of the crisis
The incessant downward spiral is confirmed by Bosch boss Stefan Hartung, who warns that further austerity programs are inevitable due to the current economic situation and the changes in the auto industry! The Agree reports that the affected employees and the works council have already been informed, but uncertainty remains about future developments.
Are we heading towards a bleak future? While Bosch saw a reduction of over 4,500 employees in Germany last year, one can only wonder how many more people will suffer from these shocking conditions. The signs point to a storm!
Given this situation, we can only hope that the affected employees will get through these difficult times and that Bosch will soon find a course that will sustainably stabilize both the workforce and the economy. The hearts of the employees beat with concern as the clock continues to tick inexorably in the fate of Bosch!
