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

I think we all associate ourselves so strongly to our work that the idea we could not be working feels so overwhelming and stressful. And sometimes this does happen - we do lose something we value. But there are ways around this. Have you spoken with someone at your work in HR who can help you look at alternative options within your own company? You could work out a plan that outlines what steps you would take if you did lose your job. But I think the best thing is to talk to people in a safe environment about your worry and see if you can find a suitable outcome that feels right for you.

First question would be if this is a layoff/downsizing situation or worried that you may be fired. If it's layoffs/downsizing, I would start by dusting off the resume and start looking at jobs to get a head start. I was laid off a few years back and never saw it coming. The panic of finding a new job was awful and put me in a position I'd never want to be in again. Staffing agencies are a great start if you are looking for something just to get a paycheck. I feel they also understand the layoff side of things and really can help find you something quickly. If you're worried about being fired, I would consider sitting down with your boss to see what (if any) reasons they might have for letting you go. Are you currently on an improvement plan or have you been written up/spoken to previously regarding your work? If there's something hindering you from giving your best effort on the job, I would also let your boss know that. If they are aware that you are struggling, they may be willing to work with you and figure out how to help you be successful in your position :) Good luck!

Do your best and have faith in yourself! Don't overwork because a burn out wouldn't have the desired result. Take care of yourself and it will help you increase your effectiveness. Think positive and everything will go just fine!

first find give yourself some time and take a day off and then start thinking why are you worried about your job try to find the reason all of them which you think then the points which comes out try to work on them slowly and steadily and start gaining confidence.other things which you have to do is try to talk with your boss or program manager or colleagues whom you trust about your fear and a possible solution and whether are you doing something wrong this will give you path what to do and finally have confidence ,faith in you that if you will overcome this fear and maybe if you will job you will find a new one and learn from the mistakes you have done in the past and always be happy and stay safe.

There are different ways to handle this depending on the circumstance. - do you know your rights? Is this something that would be within the legal rights of your company? If not, seek legal advice. - can you make changes to your job performance in order to feel more secure about your position? - maybe you can start looking for a new job now in order to be proactive. - can you upgrade your skills in order to keep the position? - have you communicated with your boss? - consider taking an applicable training course to upgrade your skills - update your resume so that you're ready to search the job market if you have to It's very stressful to feel like you could be without a job. But, it's also important to remember that if you found this job, you will be able to find another one. Connect with resources. Use your time well. You will be ok.

There are many things that can be helpful when a person is worried about loosing their job. It does help to be prepared for the possibility and have a general plan about what you need to do if it happens. The feeling of worry is your brain telling you to be proactive. Updating skills that improve how you do your job can make you feel better about your performance and make a person have an added value in the workplace. Taking life one day at a time and doing the best possible job today will make you stand out in the work place. Do your best to be a great coworker. Set goals for your career and if and when you lose your job you'll be better prepared for the adventure that comes next. These step may not keep you from worrying but doing things that are proactive will help.

1) Establish a journal/diary outlining your feelings, including specific incidents. It never hurts. Sometimes having a diary can help you against the word of another person. 2) Establish contingency plans. Start to apply to jobs asap. Reach out to your network online. That way, if your fears come true, you have the upper hand and have a new place to get started. 3) Preoccupy your mind. Maybe work twice as hard to compensate. If unable to, see if there's some aspect of your current workload, you can do at home to help free up your time to do other things. Maybe the boss wants more productivity. 4) Reach out to family and peers. They may know about hidden job opportunities. They may also provide a place to stay, if you don't have that. Good luck. I wish you the best.

If you are worried about losing your job first try to reflect if there is something you can do to avoid the problem. If it is something out of your control, like if the company is doing bad, then consider looking for another job before they go out of business. When business are doing bad employees usually are notified too. If this is the case there are a lot of job finding application available where one could load up their resumes. Once the resume is loaded all you have to do is navigate the jobs available. When you find something that interest you all you have to do is apply and the application send your resume to that job.

You can always talk to your manager or boss to see where you guys stand as a company. I know right now times are difficult with the whole pandemic and things are shaky but having and idea what can happen is always a good thing. Also preparing for the worst is something you must be open to but understand that things will get better after as well. For the meantime it is also maybe to look for work elsewhere as well as prepare to learn how to apply for unemployment if it comes down to that. Try relaxation techniques as well to current ease your anxious feelings

I would suggest that you talk to your boss. Ask your boss if you can have a conversation about what you do well at your job and what you could improve on. Showing this initiative and taking your boss's advice can help prove that you deserve your job. You can only do your best! Times are tough right now, and some jobs may not have the funds available to support all of their workers. What you need to do is work extra hard during these times to ensure that you are a valued employee. You have to believe in yourself before anyone else can believe in you.
