Mercedes-Benz said yesterday that it would cut 8,000 jobs this year, rather than the 14,000 that it announced in August. "The reason is that many more employees than expected have taken up the offer of early retirement in 1993," a company spokesman said. That allowed the company to cut 11,400 jobs last year, instead of 8,400 as planned. The auto maker also agreed last month with German unions to freeze layoffs in return for more flexibility on working hours.
