On July 12, 2012, a woman decided to clean her farm in El Vellón, in the mountains of Madrid, of stubble and weeds. The woman, who at that time was 69 years old, began to cut the grass and collect the remains at a time of maximum heat, two-thirty in the afternoon. Then, he threw everything into a drum and set it on fire.

The bill didn’t add up. The 1,000 euro relief bonus was intended to support employees in times of crisis – instead, it is causing growing anger among those who are supposed to pay, the companies. The federal government is now extending the payment period by another six months. Employers can grant their employees the tax-free bonus until June 30, 2027; originally only the year 2026 was planned. The Bundestag is scheduled to vote on it on Wednesday. Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) calculates that the bonus will result in reduced tax revenue of 2.8 billion euros. But the gap…

Many companies are currently under pressure. This makes it all the more important to pool forces internally, to clearly align common goals and to understand performance as an ongoing, learning-oriented process. However, performance culture is often misunderstood: Too often we think about pressure, rankings or fear – instead of clear goals, fairness and healthy work. And so many organizations are very busy but not effective. They confuse busyness with performance: meetings without results, reports without consequence, Power Point battles. Lots of movement, but little progress. Rethinking performance means prioritizing effectiveness over busyness, anchoring team performance systemically and carrying responsibility from…
Let’s talk about money. 261.3 million euros – that’s how much the CEOs of the DAX companies earned together in 2025, 12.9 percent more than in the previous year.
