How to know if you’ll be fired soon

Written by Darren Hewer

An article on CNN titled "Warning signs you could soon get a pink slip" explains some of the ways that you can investigate your job security. These include:

Investigate how other companies are faring in your industry. Are there lay-offs at similar companies?
Look for warning signs like not being invited to meetings that your peers are, not getting copied on e-mails, or getting passed up for good assignments.
Pay special attention to the relationship you have with your boss; if they don’t like you, your job may be in trouble.

They also give some advice for keeping your job safe. With the recent economic downturn, how do you feel about the security of your job? Or if you’re not currently employed, how do you feel about your chances of finding a new, fulfilling job in the future? Talk back in the comments.
