Business Chatter

Some business reporter brought up this topic this week....on VW and the impending cut of 100,000 potential employees.

Generally, the law says.....you need to compensate let-go folks....one month of pay....for each year you employed them.

Well...the journalists did a analysis....if you were a university engineer grad....cut....with 25 years of service (figure you are nearing 50 years old).  Ballpark pay-off?  Nearing 150,000 Euro in  pay.

Just a assembly-guy....nearing 12 years?  Around 54,000 in pay-out.

The thing you wonder about....this effort to downsize...if it increases the downward spiral of profitability.
