VW auf dem Prüfstand: Die Durstigen und die Satten

Why does VW always talk itself down so much? Andreas Schweiger and Thomas Kruse explore this question in this episode of Shift Allowance. While some see the glass as half full, for many VW employees it always seems half empty. Is it due to market conditions? It was recently revealed that VW will manage its new sales market in Uzbekistan from China. The high production costs in Germany also remain a topic of discussion. Or is it perhaps due to the way the workforce is treated? Shift Allowance is the podcast for those who want to know more – the connections, the effects, and the stories that aren't always obvious.
