11 signs you’re about to be fired

(Start job hunting if these stack up)

It’s the spidey sense none of us want to tingle:
“I think I’m about to be fired/cut.”

To be super clear:
Just one of these might not be a sign.
But if these stack up, then… yikes.
It’s time to look for a new job.

Our eyes process 10 MILLION bits per second.

Our conscious mind processes 50.

Not 50 million. 50.

This blows my mind every time I think about it.

We spend so much time working on our minds.

But so little time considering:
- How we see
- What we see
- Why we see

80% of people have imposter syndrome (HBR)

Here's 8 steps to overcome yours:

1/ Breathe
↳ 5 in, hold for 7, out for 5
💡 Breathing keeps your anxiety down

2/ Validate it & appreciate it
↳ "Thank you SO much for trying to help."
💡 Imposter syndrome just trying to keep you safe

Anybody else on the desktop go to bluesky.com and mutter a quiet "fuck" to themselves... every time they try to login to this site?

One of these is on Apple's DEI page and one is an answer in Cards Against Humanity.

Scientists can't tell the difference. 🤦‍♀️

Advice from my 11th-grade English teacher:

❌ To be a more impactful writer, reduce your word count in every sentence by at least half.
✅ Trim your sentences by ≥ 50%.
