Drohender Jobverlust: Vorsicht, Falle! Wie Führungskräfte ihre schleichende Degradierung erkennen – und gegensteuern
Wenn Arbeitgeber unliebsame Manager ohne hohe Abfindungen loswerden wollen, greifen sie oft zu Tricks. Die wichtigsten Warnsignale und juristischen Gegenmaßnahmen.
Düsseldorf. Managers are suddenly faced with critical decisions beyond their control, with official personnel and budget reductions announced. At this point, they should realize their job is at risk. Christoph Abeln, a Berlin-based labor lawyer primarily representing executives, explains that such employer attacks aim to induce managers to accept a termination contract and leave the company swiftly.
Employers prefer to avoid high severance payments and resort to unsavory methods to let go of executive staff. "The most dangerous form is invisible," Abeln notes. Instead of public degradation and humiliation, a subtle disempowerment occurs, often resembling a promotion or reward at first glance. In his book "From Career Stagnation to Comeback," Abeln outlines the most common termination tactics used by employers and offers advice on how to defend oneself.
Nils Schmidt, a lawyer and DFK executive board member confirms the high relevance of the topic, stating that senior and middle-level executives from various industries are being subtly pushed out of companies daily. Abeln and Schmidt explain how to recognize a gradual dismissal and what countermeasures to take.
