Mercedes wants to get employees in Germany, for example, to work longer hours for the same pay. The automaker wants to eliminate or reduce special payments, such as Christmas and holiday bonuses, as well as annual profit-sharing bonuses. According to Handelsblatt, management aims to save €800 million annually in this way. The board itself also intends to waive parts of its remuneration.
