8 Tell-Tale Signs That You will be the Next to Go!

Fol­low­ing our check­list to find out if you will be a poten­tial staff to be axed or the like­li­hood of being axed, we have a set of indi­ca­tors that will tell you if you will be the next few to clear your desk!  Fret not!  It’s not the end of the world if there are signs here and there warn­ing you of this impend­ing dan­ger!  Most of the time, when you observe such sig­nals occur­ring to you, it’s mostly too late.  You can at least make some prepa­ra­tion with this final amount of time you have in the office to reduce the “damage”…

1. Are you always being put on the bad lime­light? Any­thing and every­thing of errors and blame will be pointed at you.  Even lit­tle things that are insignif­i­cant have its roots point­ing to you.
2. Have you always or mostly been denied courses even there are ample amount of train­ing bud­get for every­one? Train­ing bud­get is used for your co-workers but not you.  Is it because the bosses find that you will not be able to pro­vide ben­e­fit to the organ­i­sa­tion after you attended the course?  Or is it some­thing else?
3. Have you always or mostly been denied from career pro­gres­sion? You like to progress in your career but always being denied the rights to it.  You are always not being con­sid­ered for career pro­gres­sion as well.  You are always the last to be shortlist.
4. Are you always NOT selected for any new assign­ments? What­ever new assign­ments or projects are not given to you.  You are always not in the “fight­ing” list but always on the bench list.
5. Are your co-workers being invited for lunch and din­ner with the bosses except you? Are you always being left out for any social events ini­ti­ated by the boss?  The boss is exer­cis­ing favoritism or has some neg­a­tive opin­ion about you.
6. Are you been given unfair treat­ment? Rewards and pun­ish­ment are always and totally dif­fer­ent from other co-workers.  Is it the sys­tem that is hav­ing prob­lems or is it favoritism at its best again?
7. Are you always the last to know in the organ­i­sa­tion? Why are you the last to know?  Is it because you are not in their “fight­ing” list?
8. Are you always NOT included in meet­ings? Again, you are not in the “fight­ing” list.  You need not know all the on-goings of the com­pany.  You can be sent off any­time if times are bad as you do not have any crit­i­cal infor­ma­tion per­tain­ing to the organisation.

Yes, you are a poten­tial can­di­date for the next retrench­ment exer­cise.  Don’t fret.  Make effort to cor­rect your “posi­tion” in the office.  If it doesn’t work or it’s really too late for that, be pre­pared for the worst.  Yes, that is the axe on your head.  The world is unfair and that’s why we need to be stronger to adapt into such sit­u­a­tions.  Be sure to find alter­na­tives.  Head out and talk to your net­work of friends for any oppor­tu­ni­ties.  Be open to what the out­side can offer and not dwell into topic of the axe for too long.J
