6 reasons why people lose their jobs.

Every job seeker’s objective is to land their dream job and enjoy a fulfilled career life.

But given the threats caused by the declining economy, stiff competition, mergers and acquisitions among other external factors there is no guarantee that even for the best performer will always have their dream job.

The following are some reasons why many people lose their jobs.

1. Complacency: This arises when an employee starts to feel too contented and lose their natural guard at work. They may feel overconfident while ignoring the usual warning signs. Never let off your guard. Rather, have a keen sense of presence and avoid taking things for granted.

2. A bloated ego: Every little success at work comes with a sense of self pride and importance. Though this is healthy, it may also cause disastrous consequences if it leads to a bloated ego. A bloated ego can cut short just about any career by damaging your relationships with others, obscuring objectivity and generally causing apathy and contempt towards you.

3. Mediocrity: The modern world is really changing fast. Technology is becoming obsolete long before most discover it. No matter how old you are, you can never know enough. The success minded career person knows too well that they must keep learning. As the saying goes ‘in times of change the learners inherit the world while the learned are left beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists’.

4. Indecision: Prompt decision-making is crucial in many businesses. Risk minded people make decisions firmly and in good time. But the risk-averse people give in to fear, intimidation and, therefore, delay crucial decisions. Learn to exercise due care and diligence, make decisions and live with the consequences.

5. Self discipline: Alcohol and substance abuse: Uncontrolled use of alcohol and other intoxicating substances is a sure way to lose your job. Self-discipline demands that you take charge and dictate your life.

6. Unmanaged expectations: Some people take on jobs with high expectations only for new information and circumstances about the job to resurface. You can never learn everything about a job till you settle in one. When circumstances turn out differently from expected, realign your expectations, and fit in the new disposition.

Do not let your hard earned job slip away from you. Building a career is a long-term, slow and painful process. Taking the small steps daily, with patience and dedication, will give you the ammunition needed to win in the battle for success.
