In this concise career‑advice video, the speaker outlines three practical warning signs that indicate a likely termination: (1) the boss’s communication becomes sparse and delayed, (2) no new projects are assigned, leading to a reduced workload, and (3) the employee is asked to meet unfamiliar colleagues who may be potential replacements. The speaker then advises a proactive approach: directly ask the manager if the job is at risk, accept the likely confirmation, and immediately begin a transition plan that includes leveraging the manager as a referral source for the next role.

Here's how to know if you're about to get fired. The first thing is that your boss is going to stop talking to you. They're going to put gaps between the communication. They're not going to respond to you as quickly. Everything's going to start to slow down. The second thing is you're not going to get any new projects put on the board, right? So there's nothing new that's coming your way. There's no inflow. You actually start to have less work than you normally did. And then the third thing is that they're going to start asking you to meet with people that you've never met with before. It's actually because they're trying to get somebody that's going to take your job because they're about to fire you. So if you think you're about to get fired, here's what you want to do. You want to go to your boss. You want to say, hey, is my job at risk right now? I just want to know so I can be prepared. And then your boss will probably end up saying, yes, we are actually looking at letting you go. And then from that point, you can help make a transition plan, use that person as a referral to help you get your next job.
