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 – A manager may suddenly find themselves excluded from crucial decisions, with official personnel and budget removed. This should signal that their job is at risk. The decline and demoralization tactics used by employers aim to compel a manager to accept a termination contract and leave the company swiftly, according to Christoph Abeln, a Berlin-based employment lawyer specializing in legal disputes involving senior staff.
Companies prefer to avoid high severance payments and are increasingly turning to covert methods to terminate senior personnel. The most dangerous form of this is invisible, as it involves subtle disempowerment that may appear as a promotion or reward at first glance. In his book "From Career Setback to Comeback," Abeln outlines the most common termination tactics employed by employers and provides guidance on how to defend oneself.
Nils Schmidt, a lawyer and CEO of the Association of Specialized and Managerial Professionals (DFK), confirms the high relevance of this issue. "We frequently deal with highly experienced managers from all sectors who are subtly pushed out of their companies." These two employment lawyers explain how to recognize a stealthy dismissal and the recommended countermeasures.
