Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for your many years of dedication at ZF. We recognize that the ongoing financial challenges in the automotive industry have created difficult circumstances, and that some really hard decisions have had to be made - this is a reality affecting many companies and industries these days. We are, of course, deeply sorry for all employees impacted by layoffs, and we provide attractive severance packages as well as support in finding new opportunities through our local partner companies. We continuously strive to balance the company’s long-term sustainability with supporting our employees, and we remain committed to offering learning opportunities, mentoring, and leadership programs to help our teams grow and thrive despite these challenges. Your input is appreciated and helps us reflect on ways to improve our processes and support. We wish you continued success in your career at ZF and hope your experience here remains rewarding. Kind regards, Ewa
