I've been mulling this over for a while. Here's some:
1.) Make too much money. They always go for the highest paid person in a job category when cutbacks come.
2.) Get close to your bosses boss. It makes your boss uncomfortable.
3.) Have experience. They hate it when you tell them their idea is illegal, unethical or doomed to failure.
4.) Be too old. More expensive to insure, and also see above.
5.) Use the insurance. Honestly, I've known several people who were fired after having an expensive illness, or even showing an indication they might have one.
6.) Arguing with a co-worker. The manager doesn't have time or inclination to figure out who's right. He just knows there's a problem.
7.) Contradict your boss's politics... or your station's talk show host's politics
8.) Get negative publicity.
9.) Work in an At-Will Employment state. They really don't need a reason at all. They got knives and they got to cut something.
10.) See the guy who hired you leave. The new guy doesn't know you or what you do. It doesn't matter if you do the work of three people. He promised his buddy he'd bring him with in the new gig.
Any other ideas?
