I overall agree with this one. The only thing I could think of is the previously posted missive from Elon- "We think that there is some amount of people that absolutely do nothing, don't answer emails at all AND there could be even be dead people on the rolls."
IF I was being the absolute most gracious I could be, I could hypothesize it's not about the content of the answers, but any answer at all.
If it takes 6 minutes to respond to an email and provide your bullets, you get moved off the list. If you don't reply at all, you go on another list- call it the "do you actually exist" list. Now, is there a follow on where the content is explored and then evaluated somewhow? Maybe, but right now, that's not communicated and people are making assumptions, and that's fair. I think the framing of, "They're going to evaluate my livelihood off of five bullets and some AI, and they're going to fire me because of the answers" is a bridge too far until that happens, but again- DOGE owns that assumption because they haven't explained it. Clinton fired 250K federal employees and was lauded for it, but he also involved Congress in those decisions.
To be super clear, until we know what the process is (it hasn't been explained), we will keep having these conversations, and I agree with the overall feeling of "what's going on".
