Nowadays, getting a job is not as tough as maintaining it. What with the population increase and recession, there are too many men clamoring for too few jobs. Hence, one is expected to go the extra mile these days and if you are working the old fashioned way of doing your job and going home, then you should look out for these signs.

1. Only negative feedback

Have you been getting only negative feedback lately? Not even a line of praise can be heard among the stream of complaints about you? If your answer was yes to the questions then you should reevaluate where you are going wrong.

2. Too many employees

When a company has too many employees and there is a line of contenders who come for interviews daily, it means that your spot is precious. If you don’t pull up your socks and do your job well, somebody else will take it up fast. Increased competition can result in the dismissal of even average employees.

3. Behavior change

If you sense a change in the behavior of your colleagues and superiors, if they start being cold towards you and have stopped talking to you drastically then a pink slip could very well be in order.

4. Warning letter

Companies who feel you have potential but are not using it to the fullest will issue their employees warning letters. If you don’t pull up your socks within the time period mentioned in your warning letter then you may soon find yourself jobless.
