Exactly. What kind of manager would even do this? I know I wouldn't! It's all info. I know already and I should be advocating for my people as best I can (after all if they're laid off its more work for me and makes me more vulnerable since I am then overseeing fewer people and am more likely to fail as my remaining staff gets spread too thin and morale crumbles).

If my bosses ever asked me to get this information from my people I'd fill it out myself and I'd definitely tell them about it - and that it might be a good time to start looking for other jobs. Companies get so hush-hush about impending layoffs but I won't play that game - if my company were to ever consider it I think the people potentially affected have a right to know so they can start preparing for any eventualities earlier. I'm more concerned about the people that work for me, their families and their well being than I am with lowered productivity (usually by the time a company gets to this point, productivity and morale are in the tank anyway - people usually can tell something's up and aren't as stupid as upper management likes to think they are) or someone going nuts and sabotaging the office or whatever.
