Kündigung: „Ich langweile mich zu Tode in meinem Job“ – Die Gefahr der inneren Kündigung

Berlin – Johanna Kohler, a 36-year-old marketing executive, finds herself in an unenviable position. "I am bored out of my mind at work," she laments. Every morning, she boots up her computer, waits for responses, and finds something to keep herself occupied. This situation, typical for Kohler, causes her anxiety due to fear of disadvantage. However, she prefers not to disclose her name.

Kohler has always enjoyed her work. Since the beginning of the year, she has been actively searching for a new job. However, despite her strong references and extensive experience, she has been unable to find a suitable position. Moreover, she cannot afford to quit her current job without first finding a new one, as it would be financially imprudent. As a result, she remains at her present employer, despite growing dissatisfaction and decreased motivation.

This predicament is shared by an increasing number of employees. The implications for businesses, the impact on employees, and what those seeking change can do are explored further in the full report.
