A friendly greeting, then a bang: Employees at the Lifebrain laboratories in Vienna heard about their time off by email. A total of 306 people have to go. And that’s what the letter says…
The shocking news came on Friday: “We feel compelled to dismiss you immediately, although we expressly reserve the right to withdraw the leave.” A total of 306 employees received the e-mail before the weekend. Together with the instruction to “do no more service from now on” and to hand in all items such as mobile phones or locker keys. A thank you is left and the leave reads, “You have made a valuable contribution to fighting the pandemic and to the safety of the people!” But you don’t pay rent either.
That’s in the email
The wording of the leave: “For the above reason, we feel compelled to dismiss you from work with immediate effect, whereby we expressly reserve the right to withdraw the leave. From now on, you no longer have to appear at work. Please keep note that you are required to provide us with all items owned by us or owned by group companies, customers, clients and business partners, such as employee cards, mobile phones, locker keys, laptops, passwords, access rights, business documents, keys and the like for attention of Lifebrain Human Resources and do not retain any originals or copies of any form or nature. You will receive a separate email to schedule the return.”
With the abolition of mandatory testing in hospitals and the end of “Everything gurgles” on June 30, not only the country is returning to normal operation when it comes to Corona, but also the Lifebrain laboratories, which have taken over at peak times 800,000 PCR samples per day. A total of 63.98 million samples were analyzed, of which 2.85 million were positive. Four of the five pavilions in use on the Baumgartnerhöhe will also be dismantled and returned to the health association.
“For me personally, this is an extremely painful and difficult step,” explains Lifebrain executive Michael Havel, who incidentally follows in the footsteps of billionaire Elon Musk when it comes to adopting the email — he fired Twitter employees without notice. further delay via email.
“I found out today”
“The employees were reported to the AMS for dismissal a month ago. This was nothing new,” explains a Lifebrain spokesperson. A now ex-employee Friday: “Nonsense. We knew there would be layoffs, but not who it would affect. I just found out today.”
