In this concise career‑advice video, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, tells viewers who suspect they may be fired to take immediate, proactive action by requesting a formal performance‑improvement plan from their manager. She recommends proposing a 30‑, 45‑, or 60‑day plan that clearly outlines the employee’s intended actions, meeting cadence with the manager, measurable success criteria, and a final request to retain the job if the agreed‑upon goals are met. The approach positions the employee as self‑managing, demonstrates commitment, and shifts the burden of evaluation onto the manager, thereby increasing the chance of keeping the position.

You think you're about to get fired? Here's what you can do to reverse that. You want to go to your boss and you want to put yourself on a performance plan. You want to say, listen, give me 30, 45, 60 days. Here's what I'm going to do in those 30, 45, 60 days. Here's how much I'm going to meet with you. Here's how I'm going to loop you in. Here's how you're going to know if I've succeeded or not. If I've done that, would you say that it'd be fair that I could keep my job? So you're essentially doing the work for them to say, I'm going to manage myself to rise to the occasion of fulfilling this position, and I'm going to take it off your plate.
