In a situation where you're in risk of getting fired...

Really just A, but do both A and C if you want

 

All of the above. Mostly c unless a really improves.

 

Sleep with your boss's wife?

Just kidding.

If you try to not make anymore mistakes, it will happen with the current state of mind you are in right now.

If you resign immediately without looking for a new job, then no more CSN for you to watch the Rockets.

So, that leaves you with the last one.

In my own opinion, it really depends on the job. If you like it, why change it?

 

1. Determine the nature of the errors that have been committed.
2. Analyze the impacts of those errors.
3. Learn the root causes that lead to those errors.
4. Formulate a plan to reduce the probability of future errors and mitigate their impact when they do occur.
5. Take corrective action to mitigate the impact of those errors which includes reporting and taking responsibility for those errors to your superiors and potentially your co-workers. An apology may be in order.
6. Take actions to reduce the probability of future errors and mitigate their impact when they do occur.
7. Continue doing your job.

IF you get fired, then so be it. However, if confronted with those errors and you can show an employer that you are not only aware of those errors, taken responsibility for those errors, and have taken actions and formulated plans to mitigate their impact and improve your future performance, in most cases you will be given the opportunity to learn from the experience.

Nobody is ever error free when it comes to the performance of their duties. Most reasonable employers understand that. However, if you fail to take responsibility for those errors, hide those errors, and make no attempt to remedy the situation and improve future performance then your job may be in jeopardy.

Similarly, if you do get fired you can now explain to future employers exactly what led to your termination, your actions after you committed those errors, and how you learned from the experience to make you a better employee.

 

Why are you messing up?

 

Part a you do to demonstrate you can admit, identify and address your accidents: if you have a solid enough rapport with your direct, you should pro-actively display your self-assessment and action plan then read their rhetoric or body language to see where they stand. Part c you should have been doing every evening and lunch break since high school.

I don't know how part b works without $100k in cash in the bank, 250 applicants per job posting nowadays so you could plausibly be looking for a year.

 

you should be doing C always regardless of whether you think your about to be fired. How could it hurt to be looking for something better?

Don't do B. Of course you should do A.

 

You should be doing A regardless, breh. C should also be an ongoing thing.

 

A, C, and B only if you have to. in that order.

 

Never do B mainly because you won't be eligible for unemployment. Also you are always going have to tell future employers on a job application that you quit a job mainly because you were afraid you were going to get fired.

Take it from someone who has been there - you just have to try to do better while at the same time, hope you can find another job before it is too late.

I wish you the best of luck but sure don't envy your situation.

 

A & C obviously and never do B.

A is your job duty. You are a worthless employee if you don't try to improve your job performance.

C is mandatory if you are on the slippery slope out the door.

Serious question to get at the root of the problem: Are you in over your head?

 

Before A, B or C, you need to get rid of this attitude. You applied because YOU thought you can do the job (I hope). You were hired because people THOUGHT you can do the job. Now that you can't do the job, you're looking to blame it on TRAINING?

Sorry brah, what are YOU doing/not doing that's causing you to fail? THAT is your problem.

"What you're hired for, is to help us. Does that seem clear to you? To HELP US, NOT to **** US UP!"

 

Oh yeah, D is apply for as many credit cards as possible.

 

never been in this situation.

...sorry.

Why don't you just quit and move on? Don't listen to people who talk about unemployment. If you are confident in yourself to get another job quickly, then unemployment checks will stop at that point, anyhow. F!xk unemployment checks.

Just bust out ... don't piss anyone off, and just leave.

wrt: future employment, just know that if you leave before getting fired then the previous company can never talk bad about you to employment references. Then can't talk bad about you for fear of law suit. Best they can do is talk nothing about you.

bottomline is: do you feel like you f!cked up. Change that pattern.

 

OP probably doesn't have an emergency fund.

OP won't be posting here if he is confident with his skills.

 

No shame in admitting this. I've been in over my head in certain spots, asked and received help for it.

Torocan's advice should be printed for anyone wanting to improve themselves or their team. MBA caliber stuff in management.

 

What's the job?

C and A. Don't do B without a backup plan.
