Salie, Salie, Salie I agree with Sonia! Just because of the notification, the company reopened the job that you are doing and other entities that you witnessed do not mean that the company is going to replace you. Maybe the company is looking to open another office, testing to see who are the hardest workers or expanding its operations to handle a big contract. And by you explaining how hard and how good you are @ your job then there's nothing for you to worry about. Just look @ it as a great place to work and keep it moving! I know that it's challenging to see new employees, witnessing notices and other things going on @ the job but you have to get all that negativity out of your mind; or you will be let go for thinking that because your job duties will suffer. so just do what you do and take care of your business. Good Luck! And stop worrying so much about the things that you can't control! Deal? Deal!

I do agree with many of the commentators, you could be gratefull you have a job. Do not panic or worry about anything else happening around you. You need to perform your job as expected by the company that hired you. Do not give reason that suggest you are a "water cooler gossiper" and "stir up drama." Destress and take a deep breath. You got the job and that is very important. You are stating that you have only been there for two days and this is a good time to work well with others. I would not assume anything because until you are formally inform by management or HR that you are not longer needed for this position; otherwise you are just fine. Best of luck to you.

Hi Salie, when you write you received a notification, from who? Perhaps it's not about replacing you, maybe another. Do that have other locations, and just interviewing at your office? The best thing you can do for yourself at this point is ride it out and do the best job you can. Then before you leave, get a quick (you can write it yourself) positive recommendation. It will help when looking for another job if that comes to pass. Good luck and God bless.

Salie, hey I am not sure what's going on but Don’t Panic Yet It can be alarming (to say the least) if you notice that your job is being advertised, and it's important to take action to deal with the situation. But, first of all, don't panic. In some cases, employers will add a job that’s similar or identical to an existing position and have no intention of firing anyone else in that capacity. In other cases, it’ll be obvious that your job is being advertised since its one of a kind position such as the Director of Sales for the Eastern Region, for example. Get the Facts Before You Panic It’s still not time to panic. Before you totally lose it, try to figure out what's going on with the company. If you work for a large company, there will obviously be more turnover and more advertised job openings than at a smaller company. In addition, job listings that are posted on job search sites can stay online after a position is filled, so this could be the case if you haven’t been employed for a long time. The best place to check to be certain which jobs are currently available is on your company's jobs website. If you aren't positive that it's your job that’s being advertised, you have two basic options. You can seek clarification from management or operate as though you are sure that your job is in jeopardy. But think carefully – on one hand, confronting management could result in an immediate request for you to vacate the premises, and you'll be out of a job sooner rather than later. On the other hand, discussion with your supervisor might provide the opportunity to discuss issues like a deal for your continued cooperation in exchange for severance pay, a recommendation, or perhaps even a transfer into another job. It all depends on what you feel is worse – the stress from the risk of potentially losing your job right away if you confront your boss, or the anguish and worry of waiting it out. Watch Your Back at Work Be careful not to slack off at work or display any evidence of a negative attitude. You want to make it harder for your employer to let you go or make do without you. Don't give them an excuse to fire you. If your attitude is positive and your current job is just not a great fit, your employer will be more likely to consider you for an alternate role or at least give you as much time as possible to find a new job before letting you go. Know Your Legal Rights You may want to consult with an employment attorney or union representative if you think you have protections available through an employment contract or a collective bargaining agreement. However, many employees don't have these protections since they are hired at will, which means they can let you go at any time without prior notice. Start a Job Search Right Away You should immediately spring into job search mode if you aren't sure that your job is safe. This means updating your resume to include the latest information about your current position. Also, make sure that your LinkedIn profile is complete (including recommendations) and up-to-date. Start to scour job listings and apply for at least seven jobs each week, if possible. If you’re feeling a bit stressed out, it may help to review these tips on how to start a job search: Identify potential companies of interest and look for job postings on their website. Also, send a letter of interest and resume to managers of relevant departments whether a job seems to be available or not. Launch a vigorous networking campaign by reaching out to contacts through your family/friends network, college alumni and members of professional groups to which you belong. Use social media to identify additional prospects like members of groups on LinkedIn. Approach as many contacts as possible for informational consultations. Increase your professional activity. Help to organize meetings and conferences, volunteer for committee assignments and present workshops at professional meetings to raise your visibility. Also you been on the job for two days you think there's enough people but do you know this as a fact, also some job hire more because of the turn over factor, basically the stronge survive the weak quit. I hope this information helps good luck.

Wow that's kind of crazy... Why would they do that ?

I would ask them directly, maybe your mistaken and they do need more people, and if they feel your not working out then you will know to start looking for another job.

..i agree with Larry. Put forth your best effort at every task, let your work speak for itself and who knows...you could be panicking for no reason at all. Have you done a little research on the company? If they have a high turnover of employees, they could just be preparing themselves. Maybe someone put in a resignation...or could they be expanding or extending hours and need the coverage. They obviously hired you for a reason. Couole of woo-sahs and 210% may just be what the Dr ordered. Good luck

Dear Ms. Salie:

In view of your story here's the question: Do you want to win?

Here's a four(4) step process:

#1. Read the note above by Helen B. #2.Pick-up the paint brushes of life, then, paint the picture you want to see. #3. Wake-up the next day and start living it. #4. Provide a success story at the end of your journey.

I Believe You Can...!

I moved to Orchard Park NY 1 week ago to be closer to family. I left my job of 22 years to make this move. Looking for a job in Orchard Park or Buffalo. I worked a radiology office I have my bachelors degree in behavioral science.

Why are you taking this personally?! Companies do this ALL THE TIME! It most likely has nothing to do with you. Maybe you've heard the phrase "The world does not revolve around you". Just carry on & don't give them a reason to replace you.
