If you’ve been fired from a professional job for not being able to effectively keep pace, how early before that did you get the feeling you may not be able to cut it?

If it makes you feel any better, I've never felt like I was keeping pacing, and definitely not outpacing anybody, and I've never (that I know of) been close to being fired or received a negative review/PIP.

Lol no I knew I was bout to get fired after the 3rd meeting I had with my bosses boss was screaming at me for mentioning the word “layoff” in any message whatsoever.

When everyone else is getting axed at your assembly plant I just felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Truly lord of the flies vibes

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
