Fears of getting terminated??

Question

I am facing a point right now where I mght possibly be facing being terminated soon. I got put on a perfomance notice for a quality issue yesterday. I work in Manufactoring. I was put on performance notice 8 years ago for another quality issue. My boss and his boss will meet with HR in the next couple of days to discuss the next step.
Honestly feeling scared and nervous about this. I have a house and car payment. Enough money to get through for alittle bit. Just afraid of what the employment picture will look like if I do become unemployed. I have alittle college but no degree. Can I make a decent living doing something other than Manufactoring? I'm sick of all the physical and emotional stuff with Factory work. I'm just alittle frustrated and jaded right now. As you can see i've never been terminated before.
Any advice Cheering up will help?

Answer 1

aint working for someone else a Bitc$h...

good thing Im self employed the last 4 years or so..self employment is not for everyone.--just a little FYI

you can always go back to school and learn something new

and if you did get terminated from work, dont be clueless, sell the home asap..then again real estate is slow right now - you have to sell below everyone else to sell it unless you live in a great neighbood.

Answer 2

Sometimes things happen for reason so whatever happens let it be maybe it's about time you moved on. About not having a degree, don't worry about it surely u've acquired transferable knowledge and skills which could be applied elsewhere (some employers will dye for u).

Lets hope one day u look back and appreciate the day they have terminated your contract.
Good Luck
