10 Signs You May Be Fired

10 Signs You May Be Fired10 Signs You May Be FiredMany people are shocked when they are fired. But then looking back, they realize there were signs that their job was in jeopardy. They just chose to ignore them.As someone who has fired people, I know first-hand the signs are that you will lose your job.Here are the indicators that you should seriously be thinking about getting a new jobYour boss is on your case all the time.Are you constantly being asked for progress reports? Are you expected to meet unrealistic deadlines? Do you find that your boss constantly monitors your work?Youve been told that you are in trouble.At your annual evaluation there were scores of things mentioned that you need to improve. Perhaps you have been put on probation or been told to take a refresher course, which the company wont reimburse. You have two choices. Throw yourself into your work and do everything possible to be successful or abflug looking for a new job.Youre asked to provide detailed reports about time or expenses.Increased scrutiny is a phenomenon that is rarely initiated by the accounting department. The boss believes that you have wasted time or inflated expenses. Even if you are 100 percent innocent, it doesnt matter. Find out if you are the only person being scrutinized. If you are being singled out, ask what the situation is in order to address it. Then send a constructive letter to the head of Human Resources detailing your concerns.You have difficulty gaining access to the boss.Your efforts to schedule a meeting have failed. He is always in a hurry when you see him and has no time to talk. Meanwhile, you find out you havent been invited to a lunch he is having with your colleagues. If you cant find a way to communicate with those in leadership positions, you can assume that youre notlage in good standing and it is time to move on.Youve got a new boss.A new boss is a threat because he will want to bring in his own people. But you also have the responsibility to s tep forward and tell the new boss that you will do whatever you can to help him. If that doesnt work, start looking because your days may be numbered.Youre out of the loop.Essential memos are never sent to you. You find out about key meetings after they occur. When you complain, youre assured it was an accident. But if it continues to happen it is policy, not an oversight.Your boss goes directly to your subordinates.Most organizations have a chain of command and when it is disrupted it is a clear indication that you are no longer needed.Your boss asks you to do unreasonable or irrelevant tasks, often in out-of-the-way places.Have you been sent to distant places for non-essential meetings? Do you do research on a project that is immediately shelved. One or two assignments along those lines may mean youre being eased out.Your perks start to evaporate.Your colleagues are all sent to a conference in Marrakech, but you arent invited. You are told to fly coach after years of flying busin ess class. Suddenly, you lose your corner office and are re-located to the bullpen. Perks are an important part of the job, and if you sense yours are being eroded, you have every right to worry.Someone else is asked to do tasks previously assigned to you.If these are these important tasks that you value and produce revenue, or if they are an essential part of your job description, you could be in trouble.You have a couple of choices if these red flags are waving vigorously in the breeze. I wouldnt recommend asking your boss if you are in trouble. You may or may not get an honest answer. And if perchance you are not in trouble, your question introduces the idea.I would advise you to document everything. Often a company wants to push someone out rather than fire them and have to pay severance or unemployment benefits. If you have a contract that stipulates what you will receive if you are fired, tough it out and dont quit.Finally, see if there is anyone you work with that would give you a good reference if you are fired. It doesnt have to be your immediate supervisor. It could be someone you have worked with for many years who is willing to support you when you start looking for a new job.If you are fired, dont take it personally. Sometimes it is all about chemistry. Move on.Robert L.

Here are six ways to harness the power of the internet using your companys online presence to attract candidates.1. Bring in web professionalsAlmost all companies and accounting firms have at least a website. If yours is just a stub or bare-bone template, start by expanding it. The homepage should be appealing and intuitive. Think eye-catching images, compelling text, cohesive color transportpalette and attractive typefaces. For your official online presence, its false economy to go the DIY route. Better to spend a little extra and work with a good web designer and copywriter. Once the website is filled out, a trained in-house employee can update the content.2. Maximize the Careers pageHere is where you speak directly to potential employees and wow them with your work environment, work-life balance and generous employee perks and benefits.

Find out what local accounting talent expect by using resources like the 2018 Salary Guide for Finance and Accounting.Use the Salary Calculator to get a quick, customized salary target for mora than 190 accounting and finance jobs in more than 135 U.S. cities. 4.

Other good channels for getting your company online include Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and even Snapchat.Caution Expand your social media presence only if you can post content regularly.

Have employees help your online presenceExpand your online presence by taking advantage of your staffs networks. deutsche post ag job openings on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn so staff can easily share and retweet them. Offer a cash incentive to employees who lead you to an eventual new hire. Coupled with a robust social media presence, employee referrals are a powerful recruitment tool.6. Speak the language of socialTo build your online presence with todays job seekers, especially those from the millennial generation, take note of social m edia trends and best practices. These includeHashtags - Use existing ones like careers or jobopening, or create ones unique to your company. Lets say youre recruiting for Acme Accounting.

Likewise, tag employees when your post includes them and when appropriate, such as when they celebrate a work anniversary or have won an award. But use discretion whenever tagging an employee.

Want a ready-made list to make your life even easier? Here are 20 books the worlds fruchtwein successful people recommend you pick up. 5.

(I didnt do as well as Id liked.) But what helped the most was creating a list of recipes I could make, complete with the ingredients I needed to add to my shopping list. Its sort of like your own little menu. A few of my favorites? Healthy lasagna, mason jar salads, and Thai chicken lettuce wraps.13. What Youre Grateful ForYouve likely read about the benefits of focusing daily on the things youre thankful for.
