What To Do If You Think You're Going To Get Fired

Human beings are intuitive creatures, and we often have a good sense of when our chances of keeping a job aren't looking so good. In this video, I walk you through what to do if you find yourself in that situation: how to save it, whether or not you want to save it, and what to do if you don't.

#3 is if your manager is a micromanager and you can't do anything right. IT'S THEM NOT YOU!

[DovidGershom]

Yeah, that last one is 100% accurate. Toxic workplaces. Toxic managers. Getting sick of it.

What I discovered is HR is not a Police Department. They are just workers like everybody else. If there is a conflict between two workers, they are going to do what’s right for the company, not the victim. They usually get rid of the victim, especially if he or she is in the lower hierarchy of the company. Also, if you are being harassed and nobody is doing anything to help you, what you have to do is continue to work there until you find more suitable employment. That’s what the unemployment commission told me.

Don’t leave anything behind in the office. Bring everything home.

5:16 is so true. Deep down we don't want the job so we do things to sabotage us from staying. It's like you want to quit but you don't quite have it in you to suddenly end it!Until you've secured a job somewhere else at least😂

Depends on the company, but most firings are about who likes who.

I've been fired over a dozen times and I've also fired other people probably the same amount of times and this is by far the most insightful video I've found in on this subject👍🏿👍🏿!!

I feel like I’m good at my job but I don’t fit in. All my my coworkers are bubbly and chatty and I’m the quiet one. I noticed this a few weeks ago and I’ve tried to talk to people to change this but I end up getting one word responses. I think it’s too late for me to build a good relationship with with my coworkers and my supervisor and manager have noticed. I just got a concerning email today so I’m on YouTube searching everything I can about not getting fired. This was useful

Document everything - every conversation and every email, and if you know you’re going in with HR, take a support person - another set of ears who are on your side. This made the difference of being bullied out vs being compensated out for me.

I just found out today they're training someone for my position and no one will tell me why. Blind sided because I thought I got along with everyone.

I am a man who has been fired three times. Twice I knew it was coming. The first time I was replaced with a woman who the boss thought was sexy - he simply wanted a female to ogle. A highly valued employee who had just left the company let me know what was coming my way and why. The advanced notice gave me time to erase my laptop and make preparations. My female replacement ended up sleeping with a client on a business trip and the client's entire company found out so the shit hit the fan and she was fired. So laf. The second time I was planning to quit and had already cleared my office of anything I might want but before I could give notice my boss fired me via email. Oh well, In all three cases, I simply did not like my position. It all worked out!

I got laid off after taking disability for 5 months. I had a surgery in my right knee and two days after got back got the call that I was terminated. I am definitely suing them.

[NpcAvoider]

This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic. Real advice. Thank you.

[pamelabentancor]

What if it’s a combination of both? Your boss not liking you and being a new employee making honest mistakes and being put down for them? I love the company my work and our culture but my boss is so condescending and I would just hate to miss out on an amazing opportunity like the one I was given.

I was fired by the managers lying on me and saying I was ignoring customers. It was bizarre because I was mainly the person that had been taking customers, as other workers had their head down, or completely purposely ignored guests. However I still increased my attention to customers. If I was handling something else, I would make sure to let them know I would be with them in a second. All while, others continued to ignore customers and push them off on me. I finally got fed up and had a talk with the managers about what was going on. I was fired about a week later for "ignoring customers. Right after I was fired, I mean literally 2 minutes later as I was still in the building, I went to HR to complain and have it on record. Even if my complaint was too late for me, it might help someone else down the road who the managers decide to target due to favoritism. Because of my complaint though, I was able to get unemployment even though I was fired in an at will state. I realize the mistake I made was not bringing up my complaints to both HR and management far earlier. This would have made it harder for them to build a fake case.

How about being in customer service and taking over 100 calls a day, yet the only calls QA monitors are “bad”. I only have mild improvements. My boss doesn’t like me😒

[evanshlom]

My computer and internet have been breaking down for two months now and I feel it’s a push from the universe for me to part ways from my job. It’s most weeks that I lose hours of time to a random technological inconvenience, and then all my projects go to shit

[Peaceful]

Wow this was borderline therapeutic. Very insightful 🙌. Great content!

Usually people just dislike you if your doing a good job. They see you as competition and will do anything to get you removed.

Unless you are caught getting both the wife and daughter of your boss simultaneously up the duff, it's always better to leave rather than be fired.
