This is from the National News Channel in Belgium (Flanders), so I apologise for the Dutch. Luckily there’s the option to translate the article.

We knew it was coming, but it is very very sad.

This is very sad, a few years ago you would have thought a job at the Playmobil Factory was a job for life.

Sadly not surprising. Heck with the horrible decisions they've been making for over a decade now it would not surprise me if they go bankrupt and the whole company closes within the next decade. They're just doing nothing to get back on track, just digging their hole deeper by doubling down on bad decisions.
