I am worried about losing my job, what can I do?

Evaluate why you are feeling this way. Questions you may ask yourself to help accomplish this are: - Do you feel insecure about your performance? - Do you feel that your co-workers or supervisors dislike you? - Are there tangible reasons that lead you to think this (company lay-offs, lack of hours)? - Have you, realistically, done something that would result in your termination (tardiness, punishable offense, skipping work)? From here, put in to practice a method of preparedness for the worst case scenario. It never helps to be prepared! Realistically walk-through the steps you could take to manage a loss of income and job. Things you could do to prepare are: - Seek out available employment opportunities (apply or inquire, it isn't a solid commitment). - Ask for professional references from your current workplace. - Start saving up a "fallback fund". Now that you have prepared for the worst case scenario, nothing can stand in your way! Approach the issue head-on and decipher whether or not the worry has merit. To do this, depending on what causes your anxiety, you could: - Apologize to your supervisors for any poor performance, tardiness, or missed work. Empathize with their displeasure, and use realistic, non-excusing reasoning to explain your faults (depression, trouble at home, school, stress, illness). - Work hard, bring results! - Encourage, empathize with, and entertain your co-workers! Put on a friendly face, and really try to connect with and repair the relationships with your office peers! - Communicate with your superiors if there have been external reasons beyond your control leading to your concern (lay-offs, etc.). Let them know what you bring to the table, how you benefit the company, and why you feel you should be kept on as an employee. Use examples that are introspective, realistic, and accentuate the reasons you make the workplace a better environment or more productive (ex.: I have an empathetic approach to customer service and employee relations, which has made me one of our top negotiators, bringing in repeat business that has benefits for all office members).

I would speak to your boss and co-workers and if you need to work on your self for work do so. Improvements don't make you bad at your job or anything, learning and making progress in your life is a good thing for you and gives you safety nets!

Depends on what your situation is exactly. If you have a degree and enough years of experience, I would recommend start searching for a new job while remaining in the current one. If good jobs arise, you should take them and leave your risky current job. Else, you'd need to look further into your situation with people responsible for your job keeping. Through it all you have to stay strong. Nothing in this world comes easy, as long as you keep your head high and looking for the best, you'll be in a much better situation soon!

Talk to your boss personally and ask if there is anything extra you can do around your job. Often times just by showing initiative it can speak loudly for any employee across the board. If you have a hunch that there is a possibility you could be losing your job you've got a warning most people don't see, or get before they're gone. Take advantage of it and pick up some slack!

Ask yourself why you're worried about losing your job and if it's warranted. If there is a legitimate reason that you may lose your job, considering talking to your boss about your concerns and thinking of an emergency plan in the event things do not work out.

You can try your hardest to make the people at your job realize that you are good enough to have the job! Help out people that need it at your job, and put all of your energy and effort in! Good luck!

Work to the best of your abilities, show your boss that you take your job seriously and want to retain a position.

The first thing you should do is to complete all your work efficiently and effectively. No bosses like a delayed or incompetent result. If you're way past this stage at work and are more afraid of losing out, you can attend courses to upgrade yourself. Talk to your boss about handling more task or to go for courses which will in turn, benefit your team :)

Speak to your boss or manager, find out what you should prepare for and how you can remain as an employee. In the meantime, start to refresh your resume if you have one and look at other opportunities that may be out there.

Speak to a workplace mentor, or a member of human resources at your workplace to receive advice. It is also possible to enquire on the company policy eg 3 warnings may be needed before dismissing an employee, this is empowering information. If feeling able, speak directly to the line manager or supervisor for clarity on your performance. Positive feedback may be recieved. If there is negative feedback request advice on goals and improvements to your work. Addressing the issue and taking action can relieve anxiety. Mindfulness techniques and exercise can be helpful to relieve anxiety symptoms.
