Have you gotten a weird feeling at work lately? Do you feel like he is whispering about something behind your back? Are you panicking that you might not be popular, or worse, that you'll be fired? Many people experience similar feelings. When we are told at work that we are no longer needed, we are overcome with sadness and fear. You might be interested in how to better understand the signs that indicate that you are going to be fired so that you can prepare more easily?
13 Signs That You will be fired:
1. You received a bad grade.
If you've been at a job for a while and you've started to take it easy, mistakes are much more likely to creep in. You will be warned about this. Then it's time to spit (again) in your hands. However, if the evaluation also contains remarks such as "not suitable for working in a group" or "not suitable for our company's culture", then the situation is more alarming.
2. They like to forget you.
If lately it has started to happen that you are no longer invited to meetings, lunches or parties, something is probably brewing. Consider if something has changed on your side, perhaps your attitude to work or colleagues, and correct it in time.
3. The work has become too demanding.
Maybe sometimes the nature of work is just like that, maybe our enthusiasm has dropped a bit. Too demanding work can also be the result of poor management of the company, but do not exclude the possibility that they may impose impossible tasks on you precisely with the intention that you would not succeed in them and thus have a reason to fire you.
4. The relationship with the superior has deteriorated.
If you have noticed that your superiors have become impatient with you, they avoid you, they punish you much faster than before, and if they or you bring the relationship to the lowest point, this may be a sign that you will not stay in this job for long.
5. You suddenly have to submit reports.
Your superiors suddenly ask you to submit reports on time worked or expenses incurred in your work. Check to see if you're the only one being asked to do something like this.
6. You are getting less and less work.
A bad sign can also be an apparent decrease in the number of tasks you are given. Do they no longer trust you?
7. Your privileges have been revoked.
They pay for your colleagues to fly in first class, they send you in economy class. Everyone from the working group goes to a conference abroad, they keep you at home. Is something cooking?
8. They stop complimenting you.
If the management is preparing for your dismissal, then they will definitely stop praising you. This is how they prepare the ground, because otherwise they would confuse and mislead you even more.
9. Reduced salary or you are offered a vacation.
If they suggest to you that it would be good to take some time for yourself, or if they cut your salary without explanation, it's a good sign that you're on your way out.
10. There are rumors among colleagues.
As we wrote in the introduction, if you start to feel that you are being talked about behind your back or that more and more eyes are directed at you, then you are probably not writing anything good.
11. You must report to your new superiors.
This in itself is nothing threatening, but if all of a sudden your new superior is actually someone who has a lower seniority than yours, has significantly less experience, and you have to report to him on your work, the leaders probably have their own calculation. And this one is not good for you.
12. There was a mysterious merger recently.
The more little is said about major movements, the more likely it is that 'heads will fly'.
13. Your sixth sense has awakened.
Maybe nothing concrete is happening, but your sixth sense has woken up and won't let you sleep. And sometimes he's right.
But you can be calm anyway, this is just in case.
