15 Signs You’re About To Be Fired

6. Your Coworkers Are Getting The Axe Around You

You... you recognised the signs. It was meant to be you, you mentally prepared. You've already started looking for other work. And yet Frank from two desks over isn't here today. From the look of his desk, he isn't coming back at all. His pictures are gone, his computer has been wiped. Budgets are tight, and it looks like you weren't the one to go. But don't relax, if people around you are unceremoniously leaving, then you're not off the hook yet. The instinct is to feel safe because you're not the one being eaten by the lions. Unfortunately this isn't the savannah. This is the cold and logical office environment and where one man falls, another probably will - if not the entire department.
