Germany's natural gas supply is becoming increasingly tight, and last night's shock to hear that "Russia has completely stopped supplying natural gas" is even more alarming. With supply and demand imbalances and energy prices continuing to soar, can we afford future heating and hot water costs? At this time, the boss of Saxonia Network Systems (SNS), an IT services company, proposed: "We want to set up an emergency fund for employees." "Such a charcoal in the snow, can be called "Germany's kindest boss"!
Friday, September 2nd suddenly learned: ! Gazprom abruptly announced that the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline would not resume supply as planned. 【Reason】: Cracks found in maintenance work – there was an oil spill at the Portowaja compressor station, but it was not stated how long the supply was stopped. Background: Russia has not continued to transport gas through the pipeline since Wednesday because the compressor station is undergoing maintenance and said it will be shut down until September 2. However, now this breaking news is disturbing, when will supply be restored? (Russia has recently delivered only 20 percent of its pipeline capacity to Germany.)
The kindest owner in Germany
SNS has offices in Markkleeberg, Chemnitz, Crimmitschau and Nesse-Apfelstädt in Germany, with a total of nearly 70 employees. The company said it would offer "subsidies of up to 2,000 euros" next year for "low-paid" employees and employees with "special financial burdens", such as single parents. SNS boss Frank Tornau (46), who is also the head of the CDU group in the Leipzig City Council in Saxony: "I am very disappointed in our government. We can only figure it out on our own now, as best we can. That's exactly what we're doing today – for our people. ”
