: jurabilis - German bLAWg from Berlin.Associates: Angst vor Jobverlust auch in Deutschland?
Nearly 30% of associates at major law firms are afraid of losing their jobs, up from 10% six months ago, according to a recent survey released by Lateral Link, a legal placement firm.[New York Lawyer]
"Everyone is concerned about their jobs," said T.J. Duane, a principal at Lateral Link in New York.
In the past, he said, associates assumed they would remain employed during economic downturns. But the recent downturn has proved otherwise. In the past nine months, several firms have laid off associates, including Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.
According to Lateral Link, 21% of corporate associates were afraid of losing their jobs six months ago, Duane said. As of this month, 48% of them expressed those fears. The percentage of litigation associates who feared losing their jobs doubled to 41% during that same period.
Solche Zahlen sind hierzulande - jedenfalls bisher - nicht an der Tagesordnung. Uns sind zwar keine entsprechenden Umfragen bekannt, aus dem alltäglichen Umgang mit Kollegen aus den verschiedensten Kanzleien weiß man aber, dass von einer verbreiteten Angst um den Job unter Associates in Deutschland nicht die Rede sein kann.
Was meint die werte Leserschaft: Wird sich die (in den USA zweifellos bereits deutlicher ausgeprägte) Hire&Fire-Mentalität in wenigen Jahren auch hierzulande wiederfinden lassen? Oder korrespondiert mit der auf deutlich niedrigerem Niveau angesiedelten Wechselbereitschaft der Associates in Deutschland auch eine stärkere Bindung in der anderen Richtung?
