Don’t complain - you are free to leave!
Arbeitsatmosphäre
This year is a nightmare. Endless fails, everyone is scared that their department is next to get offshored to Eastern Europe, Asia or India. And the Management board is sitting in so called Culture Talks laughing about their salary: “If you don’t like it here anymore, feel free to look for an other job”. So recently our P&O department got fired and of course they offshore the whole department to Romania, a county who isn’t even accepting same gender marriages - happy Pride month everyone! The whole change management in the company is a joke - starting with Erfurt and ending now with Bucharest. All everyone is confused and angry.

This is our year - communication is going really well with Erfurt and the offshoring to Eastern Europe!
Work-Life-Balance
We are all lazy - working 3 days from home, that’s why starting 2027 we have to be back in the office 3 days! Don’t complain or search for a new job.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Again! Don’t complain - you are free to leave
Gehalt/Benefits
Don’t complain - you are free to leave! People in Romania are just waiting for your job and we don’t care if you worked for us for 10 years and longer and gave your all to the company
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Let’s fire 2000 people in Erfurt, the whole warehouse is sooooo old and also the location is now in the nowhere of Thuringia! Right? We don’t care that we totally failed with the whole communication process - let’s pay 80 Million Euro now to close this chapter - we can save this money somewhere else - let’s fire all these expensive and ungrateful people in Berlin and let’s offshore all to Romania. Hey we are such a cool Tech Company from Berlin! Aren’t we?
Kollegenzusammenhalt
How now? All everyone is scared to be next to get fired! Don’t complain about anything anymore - cheap workforce in Eastern Europe is waiting for your job! And we don’t care anymore about the political views anymore, who needs Pride month when we can save salaries. What a shame for a German company.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Too toxic nowadays
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Do your job and don’t complain - otherwise we will offshoring you! Ungrateful German employee, we gave you a 2 percent raise, be happy and shut up! Otherwise Romania is waiting for all off you - we don’t care about being a German Company anymore, we don’t care about our colleagues in Berlin anymore who are working for Zalando 10 years and longer!
Arbeitsbedingungen
Management board is openly telling the works council: who don’t like it here is free to look somewhere else for a job - so motivating!
Kommunikation
Fail, fail, fail! Office first in 2027 and offshoring many departments to Eastern Europe? I know - we dump Germans only complain and always want more salary. It’s a same to forget your roots, dear Management Board! Don’t talk about Sustainability und fair-trade when you fire your German workforce like this. Don’t tell us, we are not talented anymore and only Romania is the answer now. What a nonsense! We are angry!!!!
Gleichberechtigung
Yes - we are sooooooo LGBTQIA+ - that’s why we are moving our HR Department to Romania where they don’t give a f… about such topics…
Interessante Aufgaben
How in an environment full of fear? We are the next in some weeks to be fired? Our department is next to be offshored to Eastern Europe?
