Overview
- About one fifth of positions at the company’s core Freiburg unit are slated to be cut, though no exact number has been set.
- Roughly 850 employees work at the site, indicating around 170 roles could be affected based on the targeted proportion.
- Management briefed staff at an internal meeting on November 4 on the planned scale of reductions, and the timetable remains undecided.
- Talks with the works council will determine implementation and any social plan, with the company emphasizing transparency toward employees.
- JobRad attributes the move to weaker demand and sector consolidation, maintains its model is robust, notes ties to 7,200 retailers and two million leased bikes, and declined to say whether its SC Freiburg sponsorship will be affected.
