Grohmann is a German company. Having employees work more than 40 or 50 hours a week on a regular basis is hard to defend legally. Employee protection is pretty strict about that. Heck, even working more than 10 hours straight is borderline illegal and puts the boss (not the employee) in very hot water.

So I can hardly believe that 100h per week were actually demanded.

They also won't stand for unpaid overtime or union crushing.

Musk's cult doesn't work as well when workers are used to real protections.

Not just work, but unpaid overtime, as Musk demands from most employees.

This story of the 80-100h demands was actually in German news at the time, plus of course the complaints of making Grohmann dependent on a single car company.

I missed that, but I am curious. Do you have references for that?

None of those even vaguely hint at 100hr work weeks or anything even remotely like that.
