5 Behaviors That Will Get You Fired in 2025
"I'll be the judge of that!" Most of us need our jobs, but some behaviors will get you fired almost every time and as an employment lawyer, I’m seeing way too much of that. In this episode of The Job Judge, Karen shares the top 5 behaviors that will get someone fired in 2025 and how to avoid them. She also offers the “bonus” behavior that will likely cause a person to hit the unemployment line. This is a must-share episode with anyone you care about so they keep their job in 2025. This episode also offers advice on what do if you are currently unemployed based on a question on Reddit. Karen suggests prevention in organizations so terminations are not necessary to include training. Information on her training is found at www.karenmichaelconsulting.com. Her book, ‘Stay Hired” - a guide for anyone going to work - can be purchased at Amazon or online at Barnes & Noble.
