Layoffs don't happen overnight. They're the result of small signals you ignored for months. You think your job is safe because you're doing the work. But that's not enough anymore. Companies don't just cut underperformers. They cut people who've become invisible, replaceable, or misaligned with where the business is going. Here are the warning signs you can't afford to ignore: 1. You're not in the room anymore. Meetings you used to attend? You're suddenly not invited. Decisions are being made without you. That's not an accident. 2. Your manager stops giving you feedback. No feedback isn't good news. It means they've stopped investing in your growth because they don't see a future for you there. 3. Your responsibilities are shrinking. Projects you used to lead are being reassigned. Your workload is lighter, but not because you're being rewarded. You're being phased out. 4. You're not being included in future planning. No one's asking for your input on next quarter's goals or upcoming initiatives. If you're not part of the future, you won't be there to see it. 5. Your relationship with leadership has changed. Less eye contact. Shorter conversations. Delayed responses to your emails. When people start distancing themselves, it's a sign. 6. You're the last to know about changes. Restructures, new hires, strategy shifts, you're hearing about them after everyone else. That's not poor communication. It's intentional exclusion. 7. Your skills are outdated. The company is moving in a new direction, and you haven't adapted. If you're not learning, you're becoming obsolete. Layoffs feel sudden. But the signs were always there. Don't wait until it's too late. Pay attention to what's changing around you and position yourself as indispensable.
