Of course you can be suspended and fired for gross misconduct but the bar is pretty high.
Comment on Company sues manager for leaving without serving full 6-month notice, wins S$36,000
frongt@lemmy.zip 1 day agoMust be nice. Here in the US you can just walk in one day and get told you’re fired and have to clean out your desk.
Does German law or contract account for stuff like if a person working with children is found to be abusing them? Like that’s an instance where you really need it done immediately. (Or if that’s not a great example because they get suspended pending a court trial, insert some other example.)
Also, in the UK and probably other countries, when you leave work but still get paid for that period it’s called “garden leave”.

While I agree that that’s a shitty norm that we have here, it also goes both ways. The first job I had out of college, I had a coworker who was a pretty solid engineer, and kept getting handed random bullshit assignments. She tried for months to get management to stop fucking her over, to no avail. The next time she was in a meeting and they tried to foist another thing on her she was like “ok, nope. I’m done”, left the room, left the building, and never came back.
At the end of the day, there is a hard limit to how far you can push people, and you will definitely know it when you hit it.

We usually have a probation period where each party can just say this isn’t for them. Then they can just terminate the work agreement from one day to the next. It’s usually a few months.
