15 Signs You’re About To Be Fired

7. Human Resources Have A 'Skills Questionnaire' For You To Fill Out

What is a 'skills questionnaire' you ask? Well, it's a completely made up document, designed to implant the idea that upper management are testing the extent of your abilities. It's meant to make you think you're still valuable, that they're looking to see if you can move into other responsibilities, maybe even set you up for a promotion. The problem is none of that will happen. A random skills questionnaire from HR is a secret sign from beyond the closed door, that your time is seriously running short. It's a bluff designed by people more devious and heartless than any Human has a right to be, to throw you off the scent. To keep your morale and hope held high and your workspace productive while they prepare you for the abattoir. You could put zero for each question and it still wouldn't matter.
