Abstract: We show that given any germ of complex analytic function $fcolon(X,x)o(mathbbC,0)$ on a complex analytic space $X$, there exists a geometric local monodromy without fixed points, provided that $finmathfrak{m}_{X,x}^2$, where $mathfrak{m}_{X,x}$ is the maximal ideal of $mathcal{O}_{X,x}$. This result generalizes a well-known theorem of the second named author when $X$ is smooth at $x$ and it also implies the A'Campo theorem that the Lefschetz number of the monodromy is equal to zero. Moreover, we give an application to the case that $X$ has maximal rectified homotopical depth at $x$ and show that a family of such functions with isolated critical points and constant total Milnor number has no coalescing of singularities.
