Being fired is usually an extremely unpleasant situation.
But it’s even worse when dismissal happens unexpectedly: a person has worked quietly for several years, and then he is called to the boss, who tells him such “joyful” news .
However, in reality, dismissal is rarely spontaneous; it can usually be determined by certain signs.
Seeing this, you can either fix something at the job itself, or start preparing a backup option in advance by carefully preparing your resume and starting to go to interviews in other places.
But how can you tell if they want to fire you?
Your instincts tell you that something is wrong.
It's hard to put into words, but you suddenly begin to realize that there have been some changes. You can't quite put your finger on it, but suddenly an inner voice begins to tell you that it looks like your days at this job are numbered.
Well, it's quite possible that this is the case. This doesn't mean you should immediately write a letter of resignation, just take a closer look at the other signs.
You received a low performance rating.
Many companies practice evaluating the productivity of their employees. And this is understandable, because the main goal of any company is to make a profit, and not to pay for work that no one needs.
Of course, you are unlikely to be fired the first time (although this does happen), but if you constantly top this anti-rating, then you need to prepare for the worst.
Your immediate supervisor has stopped communicating with you.
Until recently, you could go into his office, drink coffee together and chat calmly. But now, suddenly, your boss has started avoiding you. Even if this does not lead to dismissal, in any case, it is a bad sign.
If you notice this, try to ask directly what happened. If the boss explains what is wrong, then everything is fine, it means you need to fix some things. But if he avoids answering, then things are really bad.
Your colleagues have stopped communicating with you
Your direct colleagues may know something that they are not telling you yet. And realizing that you are now in disgrace, many of your colleagues will stop communicating with you, just so that they will not be fired after you.
Therefore, if you see that your communication has become exclusively work-related, and that you are no longer invited to get-togethers, then this is a bad sign.
You have started to be overloaded with work.
Of course, there are times when you have a backlog of work in any job. But if you start to notice that you are being given more and more work that you simply cannot physically cope with, then perhaps your boss wants you to submit your resignation letter yourself.
After all, in many countries the labor code is more on the employee’s side and simply firing him would be a difficult task.
But if you submit your resignation letter yourself, your employer will not be held accountable for it.
You have less work now
This can also happen. You suddenly see that many types of work that you used to do are suddenly given to your colleagues. Moreover, you yourself are asked to help your colleagues understand this new work of theirs.
This may mean that the management is laying down straw for themselves in advance so that the company will stop depending on you and for this the boss is reducing your workload.
This sign becomes even more obvious if you directly ask for more work, but you are never given the amount of work.
The company or department has a new boss
When a company changes management, all employees should be on edge. In this case, department heads may change, and then the new department head decides to change some of the people in his department.
A change in management doesn't mean you have to immediately prepare to leave, but it may well affect you.
As you can see, there are objective signs that you may soon be fired.
Seeing this, you can take some measures in advance, for example, you can find another job and quit this job yourself.
I told you earlier why you are still poor
