You're getting less work
If you're getting laid off anytime soon, you should notice a reduction in the work you're getting. You will see yourself invited to less meetings, less opportunities will be given to you, and you'll notice that you'll have more free time.
If you do notice this, then brush up your resume and start applying to jobs ASAP. Review our guide on the best formatting for resumes and use our resume template to start applying for jobs.
You may even want to do this during work hours during your down time if you notice that you're going to be let go anyways.
Take a look at your work calendar and the number of emails that you are getting.
If you notice anything's been changing, it might be a sign that you're getting laid off.
You start seeing your manager CC'd on emails
If you start seeing your manager being CC'd on more and more of your emails, then that is clearly not a good sign.
It means that your employer is trying to keep more tabs on you looking to micromanage you.
Seeing your manager CC'd on emails could also indicate that your employer is trying to transition you out. As a result, they're looking to be CC'd on emails so they have an idea of what you're currently working on.
When you look at emails, make sure to pay attention to who it is being addressed to.
If you're noticing that more and more upper management folks are being in your emails, then that is not a good sign.
Company leadership is emphasizing cost cutting measures
Pay attention to company all-hand meetings, as you'll get a hint of the direction leadership is taking. If you see that the company financials aren't doing well, that's going to lead into them taking cost cutting measures.
Look out for words such as
Rightsizing
Downsizing
Budget cuts
Head count reduction
Improving operational efficiency
Running lean
Implement lean principles
Streamlining
If you hear any of these words, do not take it as a good thing. This means that the company will be taking action to reduce costs and layoffs will always be a possibility. Hearing any of these words could be one of the signs that you're getting laid off.
Get in the habit of making sure that your resume is up to date so that you're ready to apply for jobs as often as possible.
Keep your ears open for any of those "corporate jargon" type terms regarding saving money.
You are on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)
If you're on a performance improvement plan (PIP), you should've been applying for a job a long time ago. Performance improvement plans (PIP) are a way for the company to justify firing you. They are not interested in your growth and development at this point.
Do not get comfortable at your job, even if you are on a performance improvement plan and that you're doing well.
Also, if you do manage to get put on a performance improvement plan, take this time to reflect on how you can perform better.
Being on a performance improvement plan is not a good thing at all. There's something wrong with what you're doing if you're put on this, and you need to take quick actions so that you can do things better the next time around.
The company is currently placing a hiring freeze
Although the company going on a hiring freeze is not a direct representation of them saying that they're laying people off, it could be the beginning.
