Digital confusion: over 1000 employees - who stops chaos?

In Brandenburg an der Havel, a massive computer error causes excitement: over 1,000 city administration employees were mistakenly retired. In the digitization of the billing processes, there was a fatal mistake during the migration of personal data to a new service provider in North Rhine-Westphalia. Instead of the correct code for 'Change', the code number for the status 'excreted' was accidentally used, which immediately led to the confusion, such as Winfuture reported .

The error initially remained undetected until an administrative employee was contacted by his health insurance company, who asked why he had not reported his retirement. This led to a hectic search in personnel management in order to identify the exact cause of the problem. It remains unclear whether the error was caused by human input or a technical problem. The city administration is now trying to clean up the situation and has already designed a letter to inform the health insurance companies about the grievance, as well as Golem reported .

those affected are now faced with a complicated situation, since this faux pas not only affects their professional position, but also has an impact on their health insurance. The city administration works to remedy the digital breakdown and to reverse the falsely retirement, but it is still unclear how long this process will take and what additional difficulties will threaten the employees in the meantime.
