What should I do if I hear from my colleagues that my boss wants to fire me?

In many cases, if we work hard and don't have any serious problems, we will not be fired easily by the company. Generally, formal companies will have a series of formal procedures for dismissing employees. The law requires advance notice and corresponding compensation. So what should I do if I hear from my colleagues that the boss wants to fire me?

What should I do if my colleague tells me that my boss wants to fire me?

1. Whether it is a rumor or a real message needs to be determined.

Rumors stop at the wise. What other colleagues tell you may be true rumors, and their credibility needs to be measured. Of course, this is not the point!

2. Look inward and understand your core abilities and values.

I think this is very important. There is a model in human resources called the "competency model". You can match yourself to see what position you hold in the company and whether the work you do is irreplaceable!

If your job is irreplaceable, then congratulations, it means you don’t have to care about everyone’s gossip. Bosses are smart people and will not fire their irreplaceable employees just because of a few people’s gossip. The one who suffers the biggest loss is the boss!

3. Do your job well and enrich yourself!

Don’t let yourself get distracted all day and lose focus on your work just because you heard that you might be fired. You need to stay calm more at this time!

Remember, you work for yourself, and the knowledge and abilities you gain are irreplaceable by others!

If you are fired, you must be loyal to your job! This is the most basic quality of a workplace person!

4. If you are fired, use legal weapons to protect your legal rights and interests!

If you really have a conflict with your leader over work and are fired on false charges, the best way is to seek legal protection and safeguard your legal rights!

Signs that the boss is about to fire an employee

1) They look down upon their employees and treat them with a cold attitude, which makes them feel embarrassed.

2) Keep a distance from employees and deliberately maintain a "gap" with them;

3) “Impersonating” employees, not assigning them work or tasks, and treating them in an “exclusionary” manner;

4) Transferring employees to unimportant positions with reduced salaries, using “ridiculous” and “groundless” reasons to “pick stones from eggs” and deliberately “suppress” employees;

5) Criticizing and blaming employees in public or private, without giving them any "face" or "dignity".

What should I do if I am suddenly fired?

If you encounter such an infuriating situation, it is recommended that you go to the company's human resources department or find your direct superior to understand the details of the situation, find out the cause of the matter, and then take corresponding measures. Whether it is an illegal dismissal or human error, you need to calmly negotiate with the company to resolve it, give the company some room to ease the situation, and also leave a good impression on the company.

If the negotiation fails, you can take up legal action to protect your legal rights. However, you need to collect or keep some evidence, such as attendance records, pay slips, work permits, social security records, and other materials that can prove that the employee has worked in the company. You can report the company's illegal behavior to the local labor inspection department, or apply for labor arbitration to the labor arbitration court.
