Frank Sell, vice chairman of the supervisory board of the world's top auto parts supplier Bosch, said on Wednesday that a series of layoffs recently announced by Bosch have put about 8,000-10,000 jobs in Germany at risk. Sell, who is also Chairman of the Labor Council for Bosch's business-critical mobile solutions division, said that Bosch's overall plan created an atmosphere within the group that he called “absolutely unbearable”. Bosch has around 0.135 million employees in Germany.
