The mood among employees of Deutsche Bahn is deteriorating, with many expressing frustration over poor working conditions and inadequate support.
Internal chats reveal that staff members are disillusioned, citing issues like insufficient personnel, malfunctioning air conditioning in trains, and a lack of supplies for onboard services.
One employee described the situation as a "tragedy," noting that they had no cooling or frozen goods available during a trip.
Despite claims from the company that staffing levels are adequate, they plan to cut 30,000 jobs in non-operational areas to save costs.
This has led to concerns that the remaining staff will be overwhelmed, further impacting service quality and employee morale.
