15 minute HR meeting on your calendar.
Happened to me today. Last minute calendar invite with boss or boss's boss and HR. Ominous meeting title.
Working on a hard hit account (travel, cruises). Lack of work. Being taken off invites. Taken out of the loop. Not being assigned to new accounts/work whereas others are. There's actually another thread discussing this if you scroll back a bit.
The other ominous title:
“Catchup Meeting” = laid off
If you’re at anomaly, then an sms from HR asking you for a chat. They have plenty of precedent.
People stop communicating to you. HR added to a quick call that’s scheduled randomly.
You work at an agency or a consultancy.
Aside from what’s already been mentioned here, talking to someone higher up the food chain who knows you’re about to get the axe or just saying hello to them in the hallway and getting a completely different reaction (verbal or non-verbal) from them than usual. Like if someone who always says hello to you every morning, all of a sudden doesn’t do it one day. I’ve also heard stories of superiors adding someone about to get laid off on LinkedIn before it actually happens too, obviously a big red flag.
