I keep reminding myself that I have done nothing wrong. I have broken no rules, I am on time every day and I do my job well. Even if I am fired I have the skills and knowledge to find a new job. So take a deep breath. It gets easier over time.

I wouldn't say it's something that I worry about all the time, but it's for sure on the back of my mind. I have started to be more mindful of my spending just in case

You can’t control what happens to you at work. I mean, you can try to improve your performance and communicate better with your bosses and coworkers, but there’s no way to guarantee you’ll never lose a job. To make the experience less devastating, try to set yourself up to get another job quickly if you need to, save money so you won’t be in a desperate position and network.
