Prepare for Layoff: Proactively Seek New, Stable Employment

Multiple strong indicators (sudden boss interest, workload reassignment, denied access, meetings excluding you, general avoidance, recent firing of a friend) suggest your termination is imminent. The best course of action is to immediately begin an active job search while still employed. Document all relevant communications and performance records. Focus on finding a more supportive and stable work environment where your contributions are valued and you are treated respectfully.
