From being asked to document everything to noticing a change in how coworkers treat you, the clues can be subtle until they are not.

She also sparked a big reaction in the comments, especially around PIP, and people had plenty to say about what it can really mean. Read on.

She did not leave the comment section hanging.

The PIP is how many employers find reasons to terminate their employees

Here's her follow-up video answering the comments:

Many people in the comments section completely agreed with what Mubenga said, especially regarding the PIP. A lot of individuals also shared their own experiences with it.

Some people even managed to overcome their PIP and demonstrated to their employers that they were indeed valuable to the company. Others shared their own signs that they had noticed in their workplaces.

Here are some of the top comments from Mubenga's videos

This person thinks the company was already done with them.

This is similar to the AITA about reporting a coworker for stealing from the office fridge.

This person's employer might have been a bit too confident in the effectiveness of the PIP

It's the company basically telling you they want you out anyway

That might fill a lot of people with panic

Another commenter clearly was not impressed.

This person made a very bold move

Maybe this person's manager just acted "shocked" to avoid looking like the bad guy

That's how you turn the tables on the company

When they give you fewer responsibilities, they're preparing to redistribute or hand them over to someone else

Even if you think you're doing well at work, there's no harm in knowing what signs to watch for because you never know when the tides might suddenly turn. It's better to be prepared for the worst and have a clue about what's going on around you.

That way, you'll have everything in place, or you could even get ahead of the company.
