I read today’s newspapers and found an eye-catching headline that was giving tips to people on how to look out for tell-tale signs of looming retrenchment. 

These tips are given by many Human Resource experts who have been actively giving job-seeking talks and job-saving tips to job-seekers lately at job fairs.

Quoted from what the HR experts have said, people can tell that job-cutting exercise is on the way if they observe the following signs :

• Cost-cutting measures are being implemented throughout the organisation
• Your workload is lighter than usual or projects are being re-assigned to others within your department
• Your work is seasonal in nature and you have significant periods of down time
• Your position or department is not viewed as a revenue generator
• You are no longer including in meetings in which you typically participate
• Your manager is showing increased interest in the status of your projects and the steps to complete them

I think the tips come in handy in view of the global economic downturn is affecting many companies and many people all over the world. People are concerned about how they could save or protect their jobs during the financial crisis.

So, the tips will help workers to be more alert and stay focus on the jobs. Probably one of the best ways to save their job is to continue delivering high quality of work that is above expectations.
