BMW Brilliance is reportedly laying off approximately 1,800 employees this time, accounting for roughly 10% of its total workforce and affecting nearly all positions, primarily frontline production roles. Formal employees will receive severance compensation under the N+5 standard, outsourced personnel are also affected, and laid-off employees are entitled to claim unemployment benefits for up to two years. BMW is accelerating its layoff plan, intending to cut 8,000 white-collar positions by the end of 2027, and is offering severance packages far above industry norms, with some employees receiving up to 650,000 euros. The move is tied to operating pressure: in the third quarter of this year, BMW's sales in the Chinese market fell by nearly 25% year-on-year, and growth in European and American markets failed to offset the impact of that decline.
