Tech CEO Reveals Red Flags To Look Out For That Mean You Are About To Get Fired

Rokas Laurinavičius and
Gabija Palšytė
If you suspect your boss is planning to fire you, TikToker Theresa Sue Mubenga shared the main signs to look for at work in order to find out if the thought is actually running through their mind. Mubenga has acquired this knowledge over nine years in the corporate world, during which she has also been running a tech company. "I've been in the professional sports tech sector for close to a decade just truly learning all about corporate," she told Bored Panda. "I always had ambitions to run my own firm, where I can look at corporations differently rather than as an employee or participant. Taking what I've learned, I consult corporations and people on how to navigate the tech space." Of course, being let go is not something we want to dwell on, but it's definitely a situation we'd like to foresee. Especially in such uncertain times. "I only speak on things that people have a hard time facing or addressing but we all share similar experiences. I'm just a vessel of expression." More info: TikTok Instagram YouTube

Don t dwell on what could be happening Mubenga told Bored Panda Take action on what s next for you Redirection is the best for us at time

Since the 2008 global financial crisis and subsequent European debt crisis, economic and policy uncertainty has been increasing. It surged in 2016 and reached all-time highs in 2020 with the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. It fell in 2021, as Covid-19 started to subside in many parts of the world, but has picked up again since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Economists believe that we'll continue having global shocks and while each event is different, the common theme is greater geo-economic fragmentation and more polarized politics in the U.S. and Europe. These trends are powering the rise in global uncertainty and it doesn't look like they are going away. Under such circumstances, contingency planning can go a long way, and being able to tell what is happening in your workplace - in this case, whether or not management is planning to sack you - can mean the difference between making it out in one piece and rebounding and being crushed by the sudden bad news.

The video has since gone viral

@resasue Here is how to know you are about to be canned… #corporatetiktok #techtok #OverwatchMe #corporatetips ♬ original sound – Theresa Sue

And raised some questions which Mubenga happily answered

Image credits: resasue Roughly 50% of companies are anticipating a reduction in overall headcount, while 52% expect a hiring freeze and 44% rescinding job offers, according to a PwC survey of 722 U.S. executives fielded in early August. However, it's worth keeping in mind that these numbers are executives' expectations for the next six months to a year, and therefore may change over time. Job openings, a figure of employers' demand for workers, saw a near-record monthly decline in August. Openings fell by 1.1 million to 10.1 million, according to U.S. Department of Labor data. Even though there are signs the hot job market is cooling, labor economists believe that workers still have bargaining power. At least for now. There were 1.7 job openings per unemployed worker in August, down from nearly two openings per unemployed in July. That said, job openings are still high by historical standards. "I'd say the job market still leans toward workers," Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor, said. "But because things are cooling off, we can't guarantee that will continue moving forward."

Here s the follow up

@resasue Replying to @notrosynatalie are you getting fired? Whats a pip? #corporatelife #corporatetiktok #techtok ♬ original sound – Theresa Sue

Most people in the comments agreed with Mubenga s assessment
