The background – Lifebrain terminated the contract with Vienna – by mistake

But only for two days. The story behind the incident. Otherwise it would have been over at the end of the year.

Astonished faces at MA 24 (health and social planning) when a letter of termination arrived a few weeks ago that would have permanently changed the corona test structure in Vienna. The Lifebrain laboratory – known throughout the city from “Alles gurgelt” – announced the end of the collaboration. Reason: Due to the global development, the business would no longer be economically worthwhile. “Accidentally signed” At this point, the number of cases was still low, the quota for the test for all Austrians, the termination of employees – in the summer the PCR tests for Lifebrain were no longer available the same business as in the autumn and winter before. According to the letter, the end of the year would have been the end. The city’s lawyers were asked to investigate. After two days, everything suddenly changed again. Lifebrain boss Michael Havel withdrew the termination. What was going on, do we want to know from him? Havel: “I was ill and in such a bad state that I accidentally signed it. A misjudgment.” Now employees are being sought again With the number of cases, business is increasing again. “There was the first wave of layoffs, the social plan will be signed next week,” said Havel. “But the tender for the schools is ongoing. We’ll be hiring again in the fall.” Prefers those previously fired. But terminations are rarely binding at Lifebrain.
