  "account": "Düsseldorf – Managers are facing a dangerous threat of job loss as companies resort to shrewd methods to dismiss top talent. Christoph Abeln, a Berlin-based employment lawyer specializing in high-profile disputes, warns that subtle degradation and demotivation are becoming common tactics used by employers to push talented leaders out of the company.\n\nAccording to Abeln, these insidious techniques often go unnoticed by the targeted manager and can even appear as a promotion or reward. In his book \"Vom Karriereknick zum Comeback,\" Abeln outlines the most frequent separation tactics employed by employers and provides guidance on how to resist these subtle pressures.\n\nNils Schmidt, a lawyer and CEO of the Federation of Senior and Executive Employees (DFK), confirms the increasing relevance of this issue. He reports that senior and middle-level managers across various industries are experiencing subtle pushes to leave their positions. The employment lawyers explain how to identify signs of a gradual termination and recommend appropriate countermeasures.",
