Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback. We genuinely appreciate it — even when, and perhaps especially when, it is critical.

You are right that tonies has changed significantly. Growing from a start-up into a global company is a profound transformation, and we would be doing you a disservice if we pretended that transition has been seamless. The core tonies principles — the warmth, the sense of purpose, the belief that what we do genuinely matters for children and families — remain at the heart of who we are. Still, we fully acknowledge that translating those values into the structures a global organization requires is an ongoing challenge, and one that we will continue working on.

On the topic of employee representation: we want to be unequivocal. The management team fully supports employees having a strong, formal voice in the company. We have already shared with our employees our clear intention to establish a global program that enables exactly this as well as committed to providing all support and partnership locally in Germany.

The themes you raise around communication, leadership proximity, and the energy within certain teams are things we are actively working to address. The camaraderie you describe among colleagues is something we are genuinely proud of and deeply want to protect.

Thank you again for caring enough to share this so openly.

Hallo lieber Tonie,

ich würde gerne besser verstehen, wie es zu deinen genannten Eindrücken gekommen ist - insbesondere zu den Punkten, dass alles „nur Fake“ sei, dass vorwiegend junge Kolleg*innen oder nicht kompetente Führungskräfte bei uns arbeiten und dass die Kommunikation nicht transparent sei.

Lass uns dazu in einem persönlichen Gespräch austauschen. Du weißt, wo und wie du mich erreichen kannst.

Viele Grüße, Katja
