THE TOP 10 RED FLAGS YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE FIRED!
May 19, 2008 - 1. You're not consulted. Losing your voice in organizational matters is a signal
that management is getting closer to running affairs without you.
2. You're Being Scrutinized More Closely. You feel as if you're not trusted. Your boss is putting
new controls in place so that you no longer have the latitude to work independently, and
you're getting subtle warnings that your work is not up up-to-snuff.
3. Co-workers Are Avoiding You. Colleagues who were once friendly are giving you the cold
shoulder, and you're being left out of meetings you've usually been part of. Come to think of it,
it's been awhile since anyone's discussed a future project with you.
4. You Got a Poor Performance Rating. You received a disproportionate amount of negative
feedback at your last performance review. You barely got a raise and may even have been
given a warning.
5. You've Had Frequent Run-ins With Your Boss. Though they claim it's not personal, it all
comes down to relationships. Performance is a subjective judgment and managers are more
likely to let go people they don't like. Eventually the clashes stop, and you'll find yourself
ignored entirely.
6. New-Hires Are the Wave of the Future. New folks are being hired who can do no wrong with
the higher ups, and who treat you veterans with disdain.
7. Rumors. You can't always trust the rumor-mill, but many times, where there's smoke, there's
fire.
8. Business Is Bad. The economy is working against you, and your company is continuing to
lose money. Worse yet, you work for a public company and its stock is doing poorly.
9. A Lot of Talk About "Transition." Your company is likely to merge, be acquired or
"reorganize" and your company leader suddenly disappears.
10. Your New Boss From The Opposite Coast Isn't House Hunting. Your old boss was
suddenly replaced by an executive on loan from another area or region of the company, which
could easily absorb your function. It's even worse if the boss is staying in a hotel without her
family and there is no talk of house hunting.
Don't get caught off guard -- have a backup source of income --
If you don't have 52 weeks of paychecks saved up in the bank, you are vulnerable.
