1	"Career Killer" can refer to several things depending on the context. Please see the relevant article for what you are looking for.
2	----
3	!!If you're looking for a character who has made a ''career'' out of ''killing'' people, see:
4	* ProfessionalKiller, or
5	* MurderInc, a formal organization thereof
6
7	!!If you're looking for something that can kill your ''career'', we have multiple tropes for that:
8
9	For writers, artists, producers, etc., a "Career Killer" is a work that ends up being more harmful than helpful to their careers:
10	* AudienceColoringAdaptation: a work within a long - running franchise that colors the public perception of the franchise as a whole.
11	* CareerEndingInjury: an incident that renders someone physically unable to continue to work, especially if it's something that person passionately enjoys.
12	* CreatorKiller: a work which threatens the viability or harms the reputation of its writer(s) or producer(s).
13	* FranchiseKiller: a work within a long - running franchise that destroys hopes for further sequels.
14	* GenreKiller: a work that results in an entire subgenre falling out of fashion.
15	* StarDerailingRole: a work that damages the reputation of performers taking part in it. It may be a result of ContractualPurity.
16
17	Taking a new job can also destroy a career:
18	* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity: a job that comes with a boss who likes to fire people for the most minor mistake.
19	* KickedUpstairs: a character is deliberately promoted to a high - ranking but unimportant role, in order to remove them from their current, more important role.
20	* PromotedToScapegoat: a character is deliberately promoted to a seemingly important role, in order to use them as TheScapegoat.
21	* ReassignedToAntarctica: a reassignment to a remote location intended as a punishment or to simply get rid of a character.
22
23	And of course, careers can be killed without the need of a work or even a job:
24	* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: a career killed by an off-work controversy.
25
26	!!Of course, there are also career moves that can get someone killed:
27	* {{Retirony}}: A MauveShirt who has held a dangerous job for many years dies within days of their retirement date.
28	* UriahGambit: a character is deliberately given a particularly dangerous reassignment in hopes they won't come back.
