According to politics

In mid-November 2011, Haberzettl announced that he would resign from his position as chairman of the group works council of ÖBB on November 22, 2011 and gradually retire from all trade union and works council functions by the end of the year, and that at the beginning of 2012 he would take up the post of managing director of the non-profit general construction, Housing and settlement cooperative (BWS) will take over. In February 2019, Haberzettl was unanimously dismissed as chairman of the board at an extraordinary meeting of the cooperative's supervisory board and dismissed without notice. The basis for the decision was an audit report from the law firm of SPÖ member Jarolim (Jarolim partner) and PwC, according to which the board of directors had breached its duty of care. Haberzettl was also dismissed or recalled from other management and senior supervisory board mandates in the non-profit housing sector in Vienna .

The reason for the layoffs was that BWS subsidiaries sold buildings at a very low price, which were passed on to a new prospect a short time later at a significantly higher price. When the board members Haberzettl and Hamerle refused to inform the supervisory board, they were dismissed. In March, a complaint was brought against Haberzettl on suspicion of breach of trust with the Vienna public prosecutor. Accordingly, the damage should amount to "at least 2.5 million euros".
