(FILES) A participant holds up a placard with a portrait of Bosch founder Robert Bosch reading 'Robert come back! We need you now!' as employees of German technology company Bosch protest against the company's plans to cut thousands of jobs at the company's headquarters in Gerlingen near Stuttgart, southwestern Germany on March 20, 2024. The Bosch Group apparently intends to cut significantly more jobs in its automotive supply division than previously known. The "Handelsblatt" newspaper reported on September 25, 2025 that job cuts in the five-digit range were planned, citing industry sources.
