At some point, in their work life gets the “I’m getting fired” paranoia. Yes, even that guy who working one cubicle over, who’s the perfect employee, has probably had a day where they thought “this might be my last day.”
Here is a list of signs to look out for mean you might be losing your job for real:
- Your boss has been short with you.Your boss is probably a very busy person, but if your once friendly relationship has turned into a long period of cold-shoulders, this may be a red flag.
- You've been demoted.Having responsibilities removed and not replaced is rarely a good sign and if your official title has been decreased, you might be moving down and out.
- You aren't being given new assignments.If your workload has taken a big dip recently, be on high alert. Your boss may just be moving your work to the people in charge of it when they terminate you.
- People are asking you to train them.If all of a sudden Gary from down the hall starts asking how you do your job, he may have been told by someone to learn how to do it on purpose.
- You're being excluded from meetings.Are your bosses forgetting to send you that Google Calendar invite to the meeting your usually sitting in? It could be a sign they’re moving on.
If your situation matches more than one of these signs, don’t start putting things into a cardboard box just yet. Especially without using company time to search through Indeed for a new gig first.
