Volkswagen Cancels Porsche as work cars for executives, triggering dissatisfaction and lawsuits

TapTechNews July 2nd news, in order to cut costs, the Volkswagen Group announced a new policy, which will cancel the welfare of providing luxury brand cars such as Porsche as work cars for its executives. Once the news came out, it triggered dissatisfaction among some executives, and even some people filed lawsuits against this measure.

According to internal sources, some executives did not cherish the company's assigned cars before, and the condition of the cars was not good when returning them, as if they had been roughly driven. Against the background of the group's large-scale cost-saving, such obvious disrespect for the company's property is clearly intolerable.

A spokesman for Volkswagen confirmed the news and said, For cost optimization considerations, the company no longer provides Porsche as a work car. It is reported that this new policy has affected more than 200 senior staff of the Volkswagen Group in Wolfsburg and may save the company millions of euros every year.

However, TapTechNews noticed that this policy seems to only target executives of the Volkswagen brand while the management and board members of Porsche can still enjoy the right to use Porsche as a work car. The company explained that these people are shouldering the important task of shaping the future of Porsche and should experience their own products physically.

Earlier this year, the Volkswagen human resources department sent notices to the affected employees, informing them that they could no longer enjoy the welfare of high-end cars as work cars. Apparently, some Volkswagen executives are dissatisfied with this change, and it is known that some executives have filed lawsuits with the Braunschweig labor court against this ban. In addition, dozens of employees have also questioned the company's cancelled promised pay plan in the same court to protest this austerity policy.

It should be noted that although Porsche is the most expensive brand under the Volkswagen Group after removing Bugatti and Bentley, Audi also has many luxury models to choose from, which may still be within easy reach for the affected managers. According to a Volkswagen board member, the salaries of these employees are enough for them to pay out of their own pockets to buy a Porsche.
