You Might be getting canned.

There’s no question that everyone on Wall Street and elsewhere is feeling nervous about the future of their careers with the economy in the nosedive that it’s been in over the past few months. Now apparently companies are coming up with new, creative terms to use instead of “layoffs”, I guess to soften the blow (yeah right) and make it easier to swallow. To borrow from Jeff Foxworthy, I’ll give you a few “you might be getting canned if’s”:

•If your company announces they are “simplifying” their employment structure, you might be getting canned.

•If the monthly newsletter announces some “cost improvement plans”, you might be getting canned.

•If you hear the term “re-engineering” thrown around by upper management, you might be getting canned.

•If an announcement comes out that there will be some “streamlining” going on, you might be getting canned.

•If your manager tells you the company is trying to “become more fit”, you might be getting canned.

And, of course we all know to watch out for things like “downsizing” and “workforce reductions”. If you hear any of the above terms being kicked around, better brush up on your resume.
