At Bosch’s Braga factory, 2,500 workers are grappling with uncertainty and worry as a layoff scheme takes effect. Employees are now returning on a rotating basis, unsure how it will affect their pay.
“The company is deserted,” says Hélia Ferreira, describing her first shift under the new system. Normally busy and loud on a Monday, the factory feels eerily empty—more like a quiet Saturday than a weekday of full production. The rotation and ongoing furloughs have left staff anxious, highlighting the tension and unease spreading through the plant.
