Write something completely anodyne but non-confrontational to appease Tiberius or join your supervisor on the proscription list. There's no way you'll get in trouble for writing "Performed my official job duties as job title at gov agency". I predict that many are going to disobey their immediate superiors and comply with the email as best they can. Don't be snarky, the thing LLMs are best at is sentiment analysis.
I think euthanasia should be legal
I think importing doctors from poor countries gives you doctors with lower than average amounts of empathy. Seeing human misery up close creates calloused human beings.
I'd be ok with writing a 30 day high dose script of dilaudid that a terminal patient could take all at once to kill themselves with, but the physical act of administering that lethal dose is where I draw the line. If they need help let the family do it.
I hope euthanasia never becomes legal here because I wouldn't like that in my job description and I wouldn't like to interact professionally with anybody who is ok with that. I wouldn't want to work alongside a high-kill-count sniper or kamikaze-drone operator either.
Mexicans are one of our DEI-favored groups so you're agreeing while pretending that you're not agreeing. Mexicans get the bonus points for being brown and Cubans don't (unless they're black). How many Cubans did you meet?
He's directionally correct. I was an HR manager for a federal agency for a couple years. I was the only white male who wasn't a disabled veteran, I got the job by having the highest test score of anybody fluent in Spanish in our district. (so essentially I got the job for being Hispanic)
You get 5 bonus points on the exam for minority status and 5 points for disabled veteran status. People assume this is 5% but it's actually 5 questions on a 35 question test. If a black disabled veteran gets a 26/35 on the exam, they get an adjusted score of 36/35 and hired over a non-disabled veteran white male who got a 35/35. The test is really quite easy and most applicants get close to a perfect score, making it nearly impossible to get in without qualifying for "bonus points". This is why the postal service has so many black employees.
Actually, I did, and they didn't take me because I'm not a DEI-favored category or a disabled veteran. When I worked government HR I noticed that disabled veterans took up the majority of our white male hiring quota. I only got that HR job because I can speak Spanish, which put me in a different hiring pool with fewer disabled veterans in it.
Much like your motivated-misunderstanding here identifies you as an enemy of Musk, sentiment analysis of the responses will identify other federal employees unable to sufficiently disguise their animosity towards DOGE and the Trump administration.
If you weren't motivated to misunderstand you would realize that they aren't looking for people who don't do work, they are happy enough to create a proscription list of feds who fail to disguise their contempt in their email responses.
I don't see why this is necessary given that he can basically just make anything up and people will believe it at this point (see the claim of millions of 150 year olds collecting SS).
Perhaps those people aren't stupid and are also engaging in motivated-misunderstanding. If it bothers you, that means it's working. This is current year +9, 9th year of the post-truth era, you should have caught on by now.

The benefit to DOGE is that they can use the data to make a list of DOGE-uncooperative federal employees that should be prioritized for dismissal. They don't even need to open the responses, just making a spreadsheet with "answered email: yes/no" is a useful data point.
If you are confident that you are useful and friendly to the administration, you will answer. If you aren't, then you won't, and will be be subject to increased scrutiny.
I think you might have incorporated a lot more Deus Ex 1 into your plot than you think. The ending choice is very similar and there are other similarities such as the 3 act structure, the loyalty twist where the main character discovers that their organization is evil and flips sides, etc. (also it features the wearing of trenchcoats and indoor sunglasses at night)
Deus Ex is a foundational cyberpunk property and if you're too young to have played it in 2000 it still holds up after you use a graphical overhaul mod on it.
