The car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz is in crisis – and its human resources director has clear words in a video message to employees: “Working hours must become cheaper – in development, sales, administration and also in production,” says Britta Seeger. “The most direct and, in our opinion, fairest way is: We have to work more for the same money in all areas.” Statements that are not in the usual PR style focused on positive aspects and vague developments, but that offer a target for criticism.
