For decades, they felt secure, but now anxiety grips Porsche workers as job loss fears permeate the company. Porsche is encountering serious difficulties, putting up to 8,000 positions at this major employer at risk, which accounts for roughly 20 percent of its 42,000 employees, as reported by Fenix Magazine. Intense competition from international markets poses a significant threat, forcing more German companies to brace for potential losses. Even Porsche is now facing possible job cuts, contributing to a tense atmosphere within the organization.

The troubling situation stems from lower-than-anticipated sales of electric vehicles, coupled with fierce competition from China, which is proving particularly challenging for German manufacturers. This confluence of factors indicates that many jobs at Porsche may soon be eliminated, marking the dire consequence of these concerning developments.

Sales figures for electric cars are too low, and Porsche is suffering from this development. This is not only an economic challenge for Porsche but also an existential threat to the people who work for the renowned car manufacturer every day, according to German media.





Mercedes-Benz is also currently preparing to cut new jobs. Demand for electric cars is simply not as strong as many automakers originally predicted. Cost-cutting measures will now be taken, which will not spare many vehicle classes, including luxury cars.

It is still unclear which jobs will be cut at Porsche. That’s why this news is scary for many Porsche workers because it could affect anyone, German media writes.
