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 increasingly finding themselves in precarious positions as their employers resort to subtle tactics to remove them from their roles. Christoph Abeln, a Berlin-based labor law attorney specializing in corporate disputes, warns that these tactics are often invisible to the targeted manager, who may mistake them for promotions or rewards. Abeln argues that such methods are employed by companies to avoid costly severance packages and to force executives to resign swiftly.
According to Abeln, the most dangerous form of this covert strategy is a gradual erosion of authority and responsibilities, which can masquerade as career advancement or appreciation. In his book "From Career Lull to Comeback," Abeln outlines the most common techniques used by employers to quietly demote and demotivate their senior and middle-level staff across various industries.
Nils Schmidt, a lawyer and DFK board member, confirms that such subtle dismissals are becoming increasingly common, with many high-performing executives being pushed out of their positions through subtle means. Both Abeln and Schmidt provide guidance on how managers can recognize these signs of impending job loss and advise on appropriate countermeasures.
