It happens to a lot us, and most people admit they never saw it coming, new research reveals.

While being sacked is a real fear for many, just under one in five (18.7%) professionals admit it’s actually happened to them.

Worryingly, more than a half (53.8%) of them said they didn’t expect it.

Nearly three quarters (70.9%) of professionals said the most ominous sign to watch out for is if your boss ‘raises concerns about your performance’.

Just over two thirds (68%) said you may be on your way out if you ‘receive a formal disciplinary’.

If you experience one of these two signs, it’s time you made a serious change to save your job.

But there are still plenty of other signs to watch out for about the office.

The signs you're about to get fired

Raised concerns around performance – 70.9%

Receiving a formal disciplinary – 68%

Recently making a big mistake at work – 37.4%

Upsetting a manager and/or co-worker(s) – 27.9%

Workload being reduced – 27.1%

Being avoided by managers – 23.7%

Hearing rumours from colleagues – 22.5%

Senior staff having lots of meetings – 22.0%

Shifts have been reduced – 16.9%

Manager is training up colleagues – 13.4%


There are many steps you can take to get you and your job back on track.
Think about your performance

Are there any areas you could improve on? By developing your skills, you can excel any areas you may be underperforming in.
Be clear on your rights

There’s certain boxes employers must tick before they can fire someone, so read up online to get a better understanding of your rights.
Arrange a meeting with your boss

Explain why you’re concerned about your job and be sure to come armed with examples of how you contribute towards the team.
Set up a meeting with HR

They’ll be clued up on the situation and are able to offer advice or intervene if you feel you’re facing unfair dismissal.
Prepare for the worst case scenario

While it’s difficult to think about, if you’re not right for the role it could be time to update your CV and browse other opportunities in your industry.

Lee Biggins, founder of online job site CV-Library, said: ‘If you’re concerned about your job, it’s best to speak with your manager or the HR department.

‘They’ll be able to help you identify if there really is a problem and advise you on how to resolve it.

Noted

O.P this is too heavy for breakfast, why do u want most folks to start the day's work with nervousness and fear. Stuffs as this should be best on weekends.

Anyways....self employment is the best thing that can happen to any reasonable being especially with the current Nigeria settings.

BTW.... Time to #Atikulate!!!

You rule your world!

That mumu APC meisuya boy up there sef de call himself entrepreneur

Life don spoil

Ok

I sacked my boss before he even thought of me. He was micro-managing us. Office politics skyrocketed without any regard for competency. I honourably resigned.

Self employment is the best. They marvel at how well I'm doing now

Interesting piece.

Alzirida:
Thats correct.
My experience was different though.
My Director actually entrusted bigger job on me,
He gave me some extra work outside my job description.


Only to be fired at month end.

I was fired for a breech of company set rules not for incompetence.
I was one of their best hands. They felt bad losing me

Are you the one in the picture? You stay in Pitakwa? Okay nah.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI.

My dear nowadays it’s best to save your energy for an environment that encourages mutual growth and unity...

Some times people just carry family history and look for ways to pull you down other times you have a genuine need to improve but most times I’ve found that the valuable ones are sometimes let go at a huge loss.

Nobody is like you ...you can be replaced but never duplicated aim to leave value everywhere you go and for the bosses it’s not everyone you hire that’s like you ...hire diversity hire honesty treasure loyalty because that’s what stands when the business is in dire need ...all this my mums sister cousin can do it better than you won’t work because you don’t hire from your comfort zone you hire who can get it done not only the cost effective way but who can train others...

I don’t beg for employment I seek to leave value that will stay long after I’ve gone
