Is your boss ghosting you?

Listen: Becoming You — “Career Confidential: The Secret Life of A Boss About to Fire You” (with Susie Welch + Dustin Lou)

If you’ve been thinking:

• “The vibes are off… am I imagining it?”

• “If I’m at risk, what do I do before it happens?”

• “If it already happened, how do I recover without spiralling?”

Why it’s worth your time:

• The 5 pre-fire signals (dead-person-walking energy, documentation, workload shrinking, surprise assessments, “I’m untouchable” arrogance).

• A prevention playbook that’s not fluffy: go back to your job description, diagnose gaps, overdeliver, and have the grown-up conversation with your boss.

• A post-fire reset sequence that avoids panic-applying: values → aptitudes → interests → then targeted outreach (not “easy apply” chaos).

By the end: You’ll be able to read the room, have a game plan if you want to keep your job, and know your next step if you need to pivot.

So you can: Stabilize fast, protect your reputation, and take the next right step with more clarity and less shame.

Anchor quote: “A lot of times the day you are fired is the best day of your career.”

Swan Chapter note: This episode might be the reality check you need right now. If you’re in a career reset (or can feel one coming), use it to name the real shift: from performing to aligning, from proving to choosing—so you don’t rush into the same mismatch in a new role.
