Here we find out some not so direct, subtle tell tale signs that suggest you are going to be sacked.

1. Less Responsibility

Have you off-lately been seeing a dip in your responsibilities? Do you see your work being passed on to your junior or colleague on the pretext of training?

"Being stripped of responsibilities is a sure sign of something amiss. Although it need not necessarily translate into being fired. But it could be a precursor," says HR Executive Gauri Bhujbal Rao.

A Precursor? Yes. Like it happened in the case of customer care executive Naveen Francis.

"Initially it began with delegation of some of my daily chores to my colleagues. My superiors said they didn't want to load me with lot of work. But over a period of time the delegation left me with no work except taking calls," he remembers.

Eventually he was asked to put down his papers on account of low performance.

2. Out of the Loop

Are you the last person to come to know what is happening in your team leave alone in the company? Then this is a huge tell-tale sign - finding yourself out of the loop on everything.

"And it can be quite embarrassing at that," says call centre executive Saraswathi Japamani. Why?

"Because the whole office knows about it including your juniors and colleagues except you. This is exactly what happened to a colleague of mine. Slowly she was alienated from the on-goings of the office. And we were asked by our superiors not to disclose anything to her," she remembers.

3. Major Faux Pas

We are not talking about a silly goof-up like missing out on a silly detail in the presentation or for that matter a spell error.
