I have unfortunately been taken ill for a very long time (over a year), and miraculously, haven’t been fired yet. However, without wanting to give too many details, I strongly suspect my job was the main cause/driver for my illness and because of that, I don’t want to go back there no matter what. The risk for my health would be too big. So I will need to leave my job at some point, and I am wondering whether an Auflösung/Aufhebung or Kündigung would be best. With the Auflösung, I imagine I would safe my company some hassle and some time, as they can look for someone new earlier. I’d have clarity sooner too and could focus on my next chapter. Plus, with a Kündiging there is the risk that I would have to return at some point during the Kündigungsfrist, if I am not 100% sick anymore. I was wondering if I am missing any important aspects or (dis)advantages here. Does anyone have experience leaving a job after/because of illness and has any tips? Do companies view a candidate in a bad light if they had an Auflösung for their last job? And are there any important things to put in an Auflösungsvertrag (I think the Zeugnis and payment of holiday days are important, I don’t know if there is anything else)? I’m very grateful for any pointers! Edit: it’s been well over a year, so I am past any protection period for getting fired. My worry is that is will not be 100% sick anymore at some point during the Kündigungsfrist and would have to return, even for a small percentage, to an environment that made me sick. submitted by /u/kiwi1034
