What law is this breaking?

• konschubert 6y ago
  In Germany there is no at-will employment. Employers need a reason to fire employees. This prevents them from reaching into people's private lives, like Huawei is doing here.

    Does "rotated" mean fired? I think they are talking about Chinese nationals reassigned back to China or other non-German countries, right? it might be illegal in Germany, Germany does have very strong labor protections! It's still not clear to me what law would make it illegal.

      Or maybe other offices in Germany

      > I think they are talking about Chinese nationals reassigned back to China or other non-German countrie This almost certainly doesn't matter. If someone is working, full time, in the german office, for years, then they are almost certainly covered by german labor laws, even if they are a chinese national.

        Right. It's just not clear to me that transfering someone back to the home office (or another international office) would be a violation of German laws against termination without cause, as GP suggested. Cause... it doesn't seem like termination? But maybe? It doesn't seem obvious. I'm just not sure we're all talking about the same thing.

      You have a point. I am not sure about the legal situation actually when it comes to rotations. But if your employer justifies any negative action towards you with "the person made friends in their private life", you can probably sue for harassment/bullying.
