8 Signs of Trouble

Watch out for some signals that can mean that your career is heading into serious trouble. If you heed and do something about them, perhaps you can minimize the risk of losing your job:

1. Your subordinates are are receiving raises and promotions, but you aren’t.
2. The good projects are going to someone else.
3. No one is asking your opinion.
4. Another manager or newly hired consultant has been ‘pumping’ you for details of your job.
5. The company has cut raises or made pay cuts and your salary has suffered more than others.
6. You are making more money than others at your level.
7. You are given little new work.
8. Your boss is overly critical of your work – or has stopped criticizing you entirely.

Obviously, these warning signals would have no reason for being if you are competent, effective, and discerning of opportunities and your strengths as well as limitations.
