Top 10 warning signs that you're about to get fired

10) Upper management talks about needing everyone cross-trained. In case you were ever in a car wreck.

9) Closed door meetings that normally, you should be in. Or at the least hear about from your co-workers.

8) The reimbursement for your expenses is running slow, over a week behind.

7) People in a position "lower on the totem pole" then your become a fixture at upper management meetings.

6) You are constantly being questioned about different tasks that have been assigned to you. And you're answer isn't that it's been completed.

5) Your computer rights are slowly being taken away as you don't "need" them. They don't take away your rights for no reason people!

4) Someone is being trained as your "assistant" and you really aren't that busy!

3) You're work load has become zero. Someone else is completing the tasks you would normally be assigned and you find yourself with little to do.

2) Being written up. That's a dead give away that I've seen so many people disregard.

1) If you have somehow ignored all of these signs, the final clue you are about to be fired is...........a termination paper sitting on your boss's desk with your name on it.

There are many stages you can take your own corrective action to fix this problem. Notice the early warning signs and don't end up being clueless until #1!
