15 Signs You’re About To Be Fired

8. There Is A Younger, More Attractive Version Of You Sat At Your Desk

Monday morning, and for once you're feeling great! Thursday is forgotten about and you're ready to get back to work, to keep knocking those deals out of the park! But who is this at your desk? Chad... Who is Chad? Oh he's new, is he. Huh. Went to the same university as you, did the same course even. That's interesting. Really? Chad specialises in the exact same work you do. And he's ten years younger. And he's already flirting with the mail room girl that usually flirts with you. You see it, right? This is your replacement. He's younger, fitter, smarter. He's the strange liquid terminator to your classic Arnie. And they have the cheek to ask you to train him up, to show him the ropes! How 'bout you show him a noose! How dare the child! Inside voice, professionalism. We're going to need that reference, clearly. Best just to train up the little Iago and get on with it.
