VW employees celebrate work break; "It's time to switch off operations once more"
Volkswagen (VW) employees at the Zwickau plant in Germany are gearing up for a three-week summer break, starting Monday, which will affect around 9,000 workers. During this period, no one has to cover for colleagues, offering a much-needed respite for all.
While the specific activities and support programmes for Zwickau employees during this time are not publicly disclosed, it is clear that VW employees use their vacation time to pursue diverse interests. Some are planning trips to the Polish Baltic Sea, Greece, and family vacations by the lake, while others are seeking tranquillity closer to home in the Ore Mountains.
One VW employee, who had a heart attack last year, is particularly looking forward to a relaxing vacation in the Ore Mountains, relishing the fresh mountain air and quiet mornings. Another employee, who has children, appreciates the opportunity to have time off parallel with their children during the plant holidays.
For some employees, the break is an opportunity to focus on nature and the essentials, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of work and company problems. Others find solace in simple pleasures, such as enjoying coffee on the terrace, as a form of relaxation during their vacation.
In addition, the automotive industry's growing focus on electric vehicles is not lost on the VW employees. The new electric crossover Kia EV6 GT-line is available for a free test drive, offering a highway assistant, premium relaxation seats, and 325 hp for those interested in exploring the latest developments in electric vehicles.
Whether it's relaxation, adventure, or a taste of the future, Volkswagen employees at the Zwickau plant are making the most of their summer break, each in their unique way. The plant's seasonal shutdown, a common practice in Germany, provides an opportunity for employees to recharge and return to work refreshed and ready for the challenges ahead.
During their summer break, some Volkswagen employees plan to venture far, with trips to the Polish Baltic Sea, Greece, and family vacations by the lake. Others, like a VW employee who had a heart attack last year, seek solace closer to home in the Ore Mountains.
In the pursuit of diverse interests, health-and-wellness plays a significant role for some employees, using their vacation time for quiet mornings and fresh mountain air. Meanwhile, others find pleasure in simple lifestyle activities, like enjoying coffee on the terrace.
The automotive industry's focus on innovative technologies extends to the VW employees as well. For those interested in science and the latest developments in electric vehicles, the new electric crossover Kia EV6 GT-line is available for a free test drive, offering a taste of the future.
