At the beginning of August, Simone Lugner starts her new job in the management of “Lugner City”. But after the death of her husband Richard Lugner, his widow is now faced with dismissal. The sender is her stepdaughter Jacqueline.
She received her notice of termination on Monday, says Simone Lugner, called “Bienchen” by her late husband, in an interview with oe24. It was Richard “Mörtel” Lugner’s express wish that his sixth and last wife work in the management of “Lugner City”. His daughter Jacqueline Lugner and Gerald Friede are currently managing the shopping center in Vienna.
But contrary to “Mörtel’s” last wishes, his widow was apparently fired before she could even really get started in her new job. “I often asked if there was anything to do and when I would get tasks. But none of them. I was excluded from the start – like an ulcer,” claims Simone Lugner to oe24. She received the written notice of termination without giving reasons.
“Reorganization of the company”
Gerald Friede and Jacqueline Lugner have now responded to these allegations. “Due to changed circumstances, various changes were decided by the management of Lugner City as part of a realignment and reorganization of the company. One of these changes concerns the decision not to continue Ms. Simone Lugner's employment relationship,” it says in a formal letter sent today. at present. They wish Simone Lugner “all the best and much success for her future professional future.”
The relationship between Simone Lugner and Richard Lugner's ex-wife Christina “Mausi” Lugner, the mother of his daughter, is considered tense. After the building contractor's death, Lugner's fourth wife blamed his sixth wife. “I certainly wouldn't have left my husband alone at home when he was bedridden,” explained “Mausi” in an RTL interview.
