To narrow the scope of the question, I will isolate the job to a corporate environment in which the job revolves around the provision of business improvement recommendations and strategic advice to the various clients of the business. It is above an entry-level position but not an executive level job.
I am curious to know broadly what might be the common indicators that users have personally observed when it comes to inevitably losing a job. It's clear to me that there are a plethora of hints or indicators that could allude to the possibility of a termination. However, I'd like to narrow it further to subtle cues that could imply an imminent employment termination.
Theoretical and anecdotal responses are both welcomed.

The boss calling you into his office and saying "you're fired" is usually a pretty good one ;)

Unsure why this was downvoted - I genuinely thought it was a legitimate and serious question. Nonetheless, thank you for all the help.

Hi @coeus, the question focuses on a lot of speculation, which is difficult to answer with facts, references, and specific expertise. If instead you can edit the question to focus on a real, actual problem you're facing, we can look at allowing more answers. Broad, speculative questions don't really fit our Q&A model. Good luck! :)

Indicators are:
- When your job assignments get less interesting and less difficult but
others are still getting the good projects - When your work is not implemented or is completely redone by someone
else - When you stop getting invited to meetings pertinent to your job
- When people stop answering your emails in a timely manner (and they
used to do so) - When conversations stop when you enter a room
- When you repeatedly get passed around to different work groups never
staying anywhere long enough to significantly contribute - When you start getting hassled for little things that didn't bother
anyone before. Especially easy to prove things like being late. - When coworkers avoid you
- When managers talk to everyone else except you
- When other people on the same project as you are publically praised
and you are not - When you get a performance warning and are put on a Performance
Improvement plan - When you feel uneasy at work for no specific reason that you can identify
