Chief Physician at Landesklinikum Horn Dismissed After "Nazi Remark"

Employees had anonymously described allegations in a letter to the editor. In addition to the remark, bullying, constant yelling, and an unbearable work environment were also complained about. "After the incident became known on Friday, the affected person was immediately suspended from duty. Following disciplinary investigations, the employment relationship was terminated with immediate effect at the earliest possible time," the Lower Austria Health Agency stated upon request. It was emphasized that such statements "are in direct contradiction to our core values, are to be condemned in the strongest terms, and are not tolerated by us in any way. Such statements also constitute a massive violation of official duties."
