A fifth sign I'd add: your gut tells you.

[woltzwurld]

I’ll give you one first hand….when you enter a “status” meeting and your boss, hr and the head of security are waiting for you .

[aa]

I got fired then opened my own business and never and will never looked back

[venxamalu]

Most of the time is personal reasons .

alot of managers are narcissists

[williamprice]

You've seen these "folks" you given years of loyalty to do this to others, but you never think, "it will happen to me, " but it will.

[LuisAlvidrez-enlj]

What a great way to find out I’m being fired!

[dimitriberozny]

Add a fifth thing is they hire some dumbell and expect you to train them when they are downsizing and after you do this, you arrive at work Monday morning, and security escorts you out the door!!

[gturcott]

Well I was fired 2 weeks ago all of these things happened! And I mean all right down to the last detail!

[williamprice]

You hit the nail on the head. The real clear 2 are changing job responsibilities, going backwards in responsibilities; the other is a clear change in their attitudes towards you especially if you been there a number of years. When this stuff starts to happen you really don't believe it, yet you've seen them do this to others.

This is happening to me now. I’ve noticed my supervisor and manager don’t really speak to me or meet with me when they have meetings with everyone else. I hear changes at work from other workers and not my supervisor and my opinion or advice isn’t taken. I also just got asked if I need training on my tasks despite having been doing these for a year now. I’ve also seen my schedule is changed to an unfavorable one, almost like I’m being isolated or singled out. I’m so bummed out because I actually like this job so much. And I get paid a decent wage. I’m on the verge of tears

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP): you do NOT want to be on this plan. You’re basically hanging by a thread.

More signs:
(1) Employer will hire your replacement (or a contractor) that you need to train.... or they'll move an existing employee to work with you on tasks you normally perform. They do this under the guise of giving you a helper that reports to you.
(2) One of your co-workers accidentally becomes aware of your pending doom, and tells you about it (because they are more loyal to you than the management or HR team)
(3) Your company is already laying off or firing other coworkers in bulk for "non-reasons".
(4) Your company just merged or was bought by another company. (lay offs coming)
(5) Your manager starts addressing you in more formal language (using the moniker Mr. and Mrs. + your last name). No more nick names used, no more joking around, or no more slang or potentially offensive words used.
(6) They start asking you to create far more and extra detailed documentation of all of your tasks and responsibilities.

So what? We’re all just fucked then? Companies are shady as shit

[FrankBevins-khmq]

If they fire you. It’s a blessing. Stay away and never go back if they try to hire you again.

As a manager this is the usual corporate thing. I won two performere awards delivered by the company but got a negative evaluation anyway. I then got into an Executive education program at an Ivy League school and got a PIP that said I wasnt interested in improving myself. I then left the firm and both senior managers eventually got termed

[chrissysirdawneiarichards]

Facts!! I experienced these behaviors at my workplace last year .Management and supervisors were horrible and didn't like me for whatever reason.

[Tylnorton]

I was put on a 6 week PIP last year in January. They listed all my mistakes which majority of them were petty, and 2 were blatantly discriminatory and grounds for lawsuit. The worst part was we had a 1 month layoff for winter break and they pulled me aside 1 week after we came back from break. If they didn't want me there, they should have told me my job was done when we wrapped up for Christmas. It was a boat yard that services and sell boats. Now I'm now at a much better boat yard and I've been there for a year and i get along with everyone.

PIP is is a clear red flag that one is about to be separated from organization! I was a victim of PIP! I was given target, impossible to accomplish while being under PIP! This manager took me to a room, explained me how PIP works, says "PIP is just a formality" and I was very dumb to believe him! He clearly had issues with me, I was a "Black Sheep" and a "No employee" he took this to his ego and did almost everything to get rid of me, when he couldn't find a reason to terminate me, he issued PIP. And since these impossible targets were not achieved during PIP, I gave these cowards a reason to get rid of me, there you have it, for months it was next to impossible to get rid of me and within few days he was successful in his dirty tactics! Threatened me by saying that either I resign or be ready to get fired! In India, our government doesn't cares, there are no labour laws to protect us, hence I would say PIP is a mere hoax to get rid of employees who say "No" refuse to be a Yes Employee! I was indeed a victim of dirty politics and PIP was used to get rid of me because they couldn't find a reason other than that!

These are Soo true. The company I just got fired from definitely changed how they communicate with me. They got really silent. They use to asked how my pregnancy was going but then they just stopped. They never presented writes or anything written how my work performance just said it is poor right before I was set to go on my maturity leave. These companies, well the people running then are trash.

[anonymousanarchism]

Me: Q4 FY22 150%, Q1 FY23 150% over target,
Q2 halfway trough quarter? PIP...

No lateness, no complaints only a toxic manager,
unbelievable.
