phase out
"I was beginning to pick up vibrations that my job might be phased out."
May I rewrite it as
"I was beginning to face the difficult that will come in my job."
Is it right?

1. That would be an unusual use of 'vibration' then. You don't really get vibrations about something. I'd re-phrase it as
I was beginning to suspect that I would be made redundant.
2 - Using 'his or her' all the time gets rather clumsy and long-winded. Most people now accept the use of 'they' in this situation
