Performance in the job market can bring us many rewards, but sometimes we can go through difficult times as well. Although sometimes we can make the voluntary decision to leave a job for different reasons (we have found a better position, we do not feel fulfilled, etc.), on other occasions it is the company where we work that decides that it will start to do without us . We are talking about a very feared scenario: dismissal. Dismissal consists of a decision made unilaterally by the employer<\/strong>, who chooses to terminate the employment relationship that existed until then with his employee.<\/p>\n

Layoffs: how do they affect our emotional health?<\/h2>\n

Living through a dismissal is a shock that puts us in a complex situation not only for obvious financial reasons, but also because of the repercussion that this event has on our psychological well-being.<\/strong>. Generally, before receiving the official news of the dismissal, it is common to experience a previous period of time full of doubts, tension and anxiety.<\/p>\n

The company may not be doing well, we can feel that the work environment is not flowing as usual and that something bad is coming. All this accumulated stress triggers problems in the mood, greater emotional instability, problems with sleep, concentration and even eating. When the layoff finally materializes, it can put our psychological well-being at risk. One of the aspects that are most affected after being fired is self-esteem.<\/p>\n

The fact that a company no longer wants to count on us can give rise to harmful thoughts that undermine self-confidence and self-worth (\u201cif they fire me, it will be for something\u201d \u201cI am worse than others\u201d \u201cI am no good Not at all\"). To this delicate emotional state we have to add the uncertainty regarding the new future that lies ahead, since we do not know for sure when we will return to work and if our new working conditions will be better or worse than the previous ones. The moment we receive the dismissal is crucial<\/strong>, since at this point many people feel overwhelmed and end up developing significant problems of anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

The impact that dismissal has on all levels of our lives should not surprise us, since work occupies a large part of our lives. Leaving our professional occupation and having a lot of free time can make us feel lost, rethink who we are and we may even think that we are useless for anything else. Work has come to define our identity, we are what we dedicate ourselves to (waiter, lawyer, plumber, doctor ...) and when that is taken away the emptiness that remains can be very great.<\/p>\n

Although a layoff is never an easy scenario to face, we must bear in mind that not all layoffs are the same. There are many types of dismissal, and each has different implications. In this article we are going to learn about the different types of layoffs and their respective characteristics.<\/p>\n

What kinds of layoffs are there?<\/h2>\n

As we have been commenting, there are many ways to end an employment relationship<\/strong>. One of them, probably the most difficult to handle, is dismissal. This process is never easy, as it implies that the organization for which we work no longer wants to count on us. To begin with, we must bear in mind that every dismissal has a series of defining characteristics:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Unilateral<\/strong>: A layoff is not a decision negotiated with the employee. On the contrary, the employer who has hired us is the one who decides unilaterally that he no longer wants to count on us. Faced with a formal dismissal, the employee has only two alternatives. On the one hand, accept it and leave your post. On the other hand, contest the dismissal, which means that you can claim that the dismissal is unfair or illegal with demonstrable arguments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Extinct<\/strong>: A dismissal is always extinct. This means that its purpose is, ultimately, to terminate the employment relationship that has existed so far.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Receptive<\/strong>: The dismissal must be informed to the worker so that the act is valid and triggers the expected effects. According to the law, the employee must be informed according to certain guidelines, which will subsequently allow him to access the strike or challenge the decision.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Next, we are going to know the types of dismissal that exist, differentiated according to their legality.<\/p>\n

    1. Dismissal due<\/h3>\n

    The appropriate dismissal is the one that It occurs in accordance with the provisions of the legal system<\/strong>. In other words, it is a type of dismissal whereby the employer terminates the employment relationship unilaterally in accordance with the established legal requirements. The appropriate dismissal places the employee in a legal situation of unemployment. However, if it is an objective dismissal, the worker will have the right to receive compensation corresponding to 20 days of salary for each year worked, reaching a maximum of 12 monthly payments.<\/p>\n
