Is there criticism from your boss and you worry that he will now want to fire you?

It's not that easy.

Before hiring an employee, you can only roughly estimate

whether someone will do their job to the fullest satisfaction, or whether they will fall short of expectations

.

Do you get criticized

more often at work

and does your boss give you the feeling that your

job

is unsatisfactory?

Don't worry, in the rarest of cases you can quit someone because he or she is not good enough.

Termination allowed?

What are the causes of poor job performance?

In order to terminate someone due to poor job performance, job performance must first of all

be measurable

. According to

Businessinsider

, this is the reason why a lawsuit before the labor court

usually fails because it can usually hardly be measured in practice. According to the report, there are two causes of poor job performance:

personal

poor performance and

behavioral

poor performance . While the former is understood to mean that someone does not have the physical, mental or character abilities that are necessary to carry out the work, the latter means that someone could actually work more efficiently, but not exhausted his potential.

Prerequisite for firing someone because of poor performance

Before a boss or a company wants to terminate employees, it must be checked whether the employees concerned cannot be transferred to

another

workplace

.

A

lower

salary

could also be considered.

In addition, it must be investigated what could be the cause of the poor performance.

According to

Businessinsider

, it has not yet happened that a so-called "low-performer termination" has been effectively pronounced.

Terminations for Poor Performance: What to Watch Out for

Even if your boss cannot fire you because of poor performance, companies often take the route to get to the bottom of the

cause

.

If it is found that you have been provided with everything you need and, for example, you do not adhere to pre-formulated procedures and processes, this can be presented as a reason for termination.

managers

recognize excellent applicants by this quality.

According to

Businessinsider

, however, such studies often reveal that the real

problem

lies with the manager himself. They either did not provide the necessary work equipment or did not coordinate the teamwork well enough, so that the supposed "

low performer

" could not work better or faster because important input from colleagues was still missing. So you don't need to worry that your boss will fire you for the occasional criticism of you. Just make sure you do exactly what is asked of you. If you

stick to the workflows and processes

, nobody can twist it for you.

In general, however, it is always advisable to start a dialogue and show initiative.

And if you should end up before the

labor

court: According to

Businessinsider

, a termination procedure usually ends with the payment of a

severance payment

or the

termination

is

withdrawn

.
