Volkswagen plans 30K job cuts worldwide

Always ignoring the need for thoughtful and balanced research on the matter before forming an opinion seems to be the mantra. Reading more than the headline is hard, I know.

There are no people getting fired, just retiring people are not getting replaced.

I am far from the thought that this will be a lesson in humility to you though.

But still, it's a cut in the job pool available in these countries.

Where do you see "over 10 years"? It says "by 2020" and we are not in 2010, but in late 2016, so that's only 3 or 4 years.

Won't this increase the amount of work for the ones that remain ? Volkswagen increases time by 5% for all (610K total) ?
