Volkswagen plans to cut about 3,000 office jobs in Germany by the end of 2017 as the carmaker strives to offset the cost of its emissions test-rigging scandal, two sources at the company said on Thursday. Europe’s largest automaker is cutting investment by 1 billion euros in 2016 compared with last year and aims to shed hundreds of temporary jobs and cease unprofitable models in a bid to reduce costs in the wake of the scandal. VW employs about 120,000 workers at its Western German plants and its financial services division, with about a third of those being office positions.
