“Oh, I have a very wonderful life! It just can't be! Tomorrow they will surely fire me!"

Fear of being fired is one of the greatest fears of people working remotely. Why is that? There is no connection, including emotional, with the team and the leader. You do not see with which person the manager reads your report or accepts the results of your work. You do not see with what emotions your colleague communicates with you. Maybe he is just a polite person, so he behaves this way, but in reality he thinks that you are not up to the mark and are weak for your position, and tomorrow he will definitely tell the manager about this, who will not get rid of you today or tomorrow.

What character traits and actions can lead to dismissal?

Irresponsible or disinterested attitude towards work. Each manager, business owner invests money, emotions, energy in his business and your salary, accordingly, he wants to receive as much energy and money as possible as a result. If he sees that you are working without energy, only for the sake of a salary, and not for the result, not for the pleasure of the process, then, of course, he will think. How can you tell if you have such a careless attitude to work? If in your free time you at least sometimes think about the project, if you are not annoyed by the fact that you need to stay late (call the client, hold an additional meeting with colleagues, etc.), then everything is normal with your attitude to work. If such moments occur regularly, then it is quite reasonable that this will force the person.

Inability to communicate with the team - provocation of disputes, quarrels, conflicts. Such people decompose the collective from the inside, and it is quite logical that they would want to get rid of such a person. It is easier to exclude one disintegrating link from the team than to change the entire team in the future (sooner or later it will come under the influence). Moreover, a common worldview and values are important. How do you know if this applies to you? If you feel a connection with the team, an emotional connection with colleagues, you have an understanding of common goals, you are interested in working together, communicating not only at work, then you are all right with this item.

Ability to learn, grasp information on the fly, and perform new tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. When a person just joins the team, he is given time to delve into the project, understand it, acquire new skills, but at the same time he is monitored - how quickly he acquires these skills (quickly - he will become an indispensable employee in the team, slowly - he will slow down the process of work of the entire department, or even the entire company, and if this continues for a long time, then managers get rid of such employees). If you complete all tasks on time or before the deadline, you are fine with this item.

Your participation in high-profile scandalous relationships, this also includes sexual harassment, discrimination on your part on some of the grounds - gender, racial, etc. In large companies, this point is very strict. Often in such cases, a person is not fired immediately, but after a while so that he does not understand what the real reason is. The company is not interested in having a person inside that can destroy its reputation.

Inability to maintain subordination. A person who constantly argues with a manager will not be pleasing to the company. This often happens in cases when it did not work out in a family with mom and dad, it was not possible in adolescence to express rebellion and discontent, to go against the authorities. So, when a person comes to work in a company, and the manager unconsciously resembles a father / mother in some way, this rebellion begins, which has not been expressed before. How do you know if there is this problem? If you feel that the leader hears and understands you, his requirements seem fair, then everything is in order.

However, there is one more moment when it can turn on - if a projection on a negligent parent, younger brother or uncle is triggered, who has not worked all his life, and has already been "given up" on him. In fact, the manager did not accept, he is still in pain for the current situation, but he understands that nothing can be done and transfers his attitude towards his brother, uncle or some of his relatives to the employee. In this case, no matter what you do, you cannot please such a leader.

Another type of leaders, borderline in their essence, is with the organization of the psyche, a little divorced from reality, when unclear or unrealistic tasks are given. However, here is an important point - do not confuse such situations with those when you fall short, really do not have the necessary skills. To figure it out, you need an individual approach, it is worth evaluating and analyzing a lot of little things.

The experience of losing your job is normal and natural, in fact, even basic. Work is safety, peace of mind about tomorrow, satisfaction of all needs (we will have what to eat, where to sleep, hide from the cold and heat). If your experiences are in the nature of discomfort and anxiety, cause fear, you should do it as early as possible, and not when it can lead to serious consequences, and you will have to invest more energy (looking for a job, going to interviews, worrying about uncertainty, living some time in unsafe conditions).
