Received a written warning? React the right way.
A written warning (Abmahnung) is often the first step towards a termination. Reacting smartly now means negotiating from a stronger position later.

Good to know
Three things you should know now.
- Sign nothing: You do not have to acknowledge or sign a written warning. Do not be rushed into a quick statement.
- Often the first step: A written warning frequently prepares a conduct-based termination. Reacting early means negotiating from the stronger position.
- Unjustified? Get it removed: An unjustified warning must be removed from your personnel file. That can be enforced.
