THE END MIGHT BE NEAR

***FIVE SIGNS YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET FIRED***

In June, 467,000 people lost their jobs. And just as many could lose their jobs THIS month. Should YOU be worried?

If you're wondering how secure YOUR job is, here are five signs you're about to get fired . . .

#1.) YOU'RE OUT OF THE LOOP. If your boss or coworkers have started acting weird, or you're suddenly the LAST person to hear about EVERYTHING, they might know something you don't.

#2.) YOU WERE TOLD TO TAKE A VACATION. Unless you just finished working a ton of overtime, being asked to take a vacation is a BAD sign. It either means you're expendable, or they need you out of the office so they can interview a replacement.

#3.) YOU MADE A MAJOR MISTAKE. Most employers know mistakes happen. But any time you make a BIG mistake, there's a chance you'll lose your job. Even if your boss is a good friend, someone higher up the ladder might be calling the shots.

#4.) MANAGEMENT IS RESTRUCTURING. When new blood takes over, they're expected to make big changes. So, if your boss or your boss's boss just got replaced, you might be next.

#5.) YOUR COMPANY IS ON CNBC. Under normal circumstances, it might be a GOOD thing. But in the wake of the financial meltdown, it seems like ALL news is BAD news. If your company is being profiled on TV, chances are, it's in trouble. (AskMen.com)
