157€ Back to 2016 levels. 100 invested in 2016 gives you 100 9 years later Record results and brand heat ?

It’s the last week before the application period closes.. what are you hearing? Is it as messy as the first wave? Also been hearing some rumors about a possible third wave in 2026 have you heard anything on that side?

Who else thinks it’s a bad idea? We are releasing skilled knowledgeable people, reducing possibilities to rotate to other areas, cannot serve all markets. Is this just an excuse to drive people to quit?

After all the AI related info sessions is it time for layoffs next? Lot of business and tech roles are already redundant and can be easily automated. Feels like activities and programs are being made up to keep people busy at this point.

After Arthur joining Puma as the CEO, they have made another good appointment by hiring Andreas. If Bjørn keeps peeing off adidas talent he will indirectly be responsible for Puma’s resurgence.
