Laid off employees without fair severance citing Kleinbetrieb

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was ok. Decent autonomy.

Cons

Management actively reduced head count and employed more freelancers specifically to be able to fire people without Kündigungsschutz. Used it for layoffs with minimal severance. Unnecessarily threatened employees with legal action. Nights and Weekends on-call without pay.
