Get Clued into Layoff Warning Signs

I thought this was very fitting because of what is going on at my work:
Maybe you love your job so much you brush off hints that the company's wheels are starting to come off. Or maybe you despise your job enough that you pay no attention to anything other than getting through a full day. Maybe you don't think you have any reason to watch for signs you might be headed for a job loss.

But maybe you should. Even if you're doing well and things seem peachy in the workplace, it's never a bad idea to pay attention to hints that your job may be in jeopardy. Stay one step ahead of a layoff by heeding these warning signs.

Sometimes we ignore obvious signs that the other shoe is going to drop, attributing negative signals to a bad phase that will quickly pass. Unfortunately, ignoring these signs can threaten your job security. Watch out if:

You Got a Bad Review or a Warning.
Your Boss Looks over Your Shoulder.
You Get the Cold Shoulder.
External Problems: Management Changes Beyond Your Control
You Get a New Boss.
Management Makes Changes at the Top.
There Are Rumors of Restructuring or Layoffs.
New Hires Don't Fit the Mold.
