“Only to be family-friendly to the outside world, but to push mothers and parents with children out of the company internally does not fit together,” said Mast on Saturday. “I have had talks in the last few days – the termination plans have been confirmed to me from various sources. The criteria chosen for the so-called” volunteer program “are clear,” criticized Mast.
H&M announced on Tuesday that it would cut around 800 jobs in Germany, around five percent of all the company’s employees in Germany.

H&M also denied the allegations of having young parents in view on Tuesday: “The volunteer program at H&M Germany is not primarily aimed at mothers and fathers,” it said in a statement. “It is aimed at all colleagues from different employment relationships who can specifically opt for this program.” You go “very clearly in accordance with applicable legal provisions”.
