Speaking from experience, my gut is a bitch with an anxiety problem and imposter syndrome

Always always always be ready. Book up to date. Contacts current. Never ever stop networking. Email / text at least five people a day / keep track of the conversations / when you can eat lunch with someone not at your desk / meet other people at your current office and learn their names not just the people on your team / be ready and you never have to be worried

If you feel you’re gonna get fired, that usually means something’s off about your workplace, and you should probably start looking anyway.

Probably, yes. But fear not. What doesn't kill you only prolongs the inevitable.

It’s hard to fire someone who is willing to learn and be coached by their mistakes. If you dropped the ball, what’s the lesson in that? Usually creative types aren’t the most organized. Can you propose a solution that would help others too? Could it be a new way to have project management help with prioritizing or how they do hot sheets? Then teach others. That would be a signal to management that shit happens, but I’m taking responsibility and I’m helping others.

Thanks everyone. I’m like Zenith with bad anxiety, but I did drop the ball on a project so even if not now, I don’t like to be blindsided so I’m preparing for the worst anyway. I don’t like to have reasons to be fired and if I were my lead, I’d definitely say there’s at least one reason to. Appreciate at least the 50/50 answers!

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
