  HIGH RISK

  Looks like you've got some work to do! No boss would want to keep your barely surviving self on the team...Just putting in those hours while being a “negative Nancy” about almost everything around you isn't quite a winning strategy. There may be some good reasons you feel this way and don't have any energy left to care, but robots get stuff done and so should you. It's time to take some good care of yourself - calm down, step up and explore new ways of collaborating with other humans unless you want your boring job turned into no job.

  MEDIUM RISK

  No kidding, you're an awesome human who knows a lot! Do you even notice how your fellow humans freak out when you start rocking the boat a little too much for their liking? See, whatever it is that you know, robots would know or do 10 or 1000 times better! It's not just all about being this smart and having the answers, you gotta find ways to better relate to other humans at work if you want to make a real difference there. With your uncontrolled urges to speak up about things that matter to you, your boss may eventually get sick of your constant fights and confrontations and replace you with some quiet AI that'll get stuff done just as good but with no drama and hurt feelings... You've got to start learning how to challenge people in a more diplomatic way without sacrificing the value you bring to the team. Honest and direct is good, but being more supportive than confrontational will help you increase the chance of reaching your ambitious career goals sooner and with much less push-back from the higher-ups!

  MODERATE RISK

  You're just so nice that everybody likes you! Are you too nice that you never question anything or challenge anyone? Robots are being designed for accurate results and efficiency, and we, humans, should watch out for mistakes and correct them even when they're made by someone else! Saying "yes" most of the time may have served you well, but that's not what will save you when it's time for your boss to make some tough decisions. Be brave, you've got this! Learn how to set boundaries, give feedback and challenge people (yes, including your boss!) in a collaborative way and robots won't stand a chance!

  You're pretty safe! You're an amazing human being with a compassionate heart and contagious drive, so robots won't stand a chance in replacing you! Your kindness and excellent people skills will keep you in the game, perhaps even managing some of those robots who will come to do some operational tasks. Keep your focus on being supportive to your leader and the team and make sure to take good care of yourself to maintain this great attitude at work!
