Zalando, a big online shopping company from Germany, is said to be getting ready for a big change, and this has made the employees very worried. Senior leaders have indicated major changes are coming, but they haven't provided any specific information, which has left employees feeling unsure and confused. The Works Council is disagreeing with management about the new changes, and they have asked a neutral third party to help settle the disagreement.
Internal rumors suggest the situation could be very serious, with people using strong words like "blood bath" to describe what might happen. Many high-level managers have already quit or are thinking about leaving, which is causing people to feel discouraged and making the work environment worse.
Zalando's Portuguese hub, which is one of several international tech centers, has had difficulty in becoming established. Although some local workers are still there, the Portuguese operation is often seen as a warning about foreign tech companies that didn’t fully succeed in Portugal.
