Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. Yeah, I don't think you can force people to resign for refusing to urgently respond to a ludicrous e-mail (if you even have access to your e-mail to begin with). This is the type of bullshit federal organizations have been grappling with instead of focusing on their actual mission to support Americans. "Nothing because you and your brown shirted gooners have properly fucked up every system and administrative machination that we use to do our jobs. We are now in the process of undoing your fuckups and trying to do our actual job without your fucking input and screwups." Or something along those lines. Too long. How about: "Your momma"
It has to be a bulleted list.

I've already seen this proposed multiple times from multiple sources by the way.
One of the senior leaders in my program sent an e-mail telling everyone to stand by and not reply while they seek guidance from above...

Oh, and make sure fucking the reader's momma is listed somewhere around word 2700.
Is there a better form of compliance than malicious compliance?

I wish I had the ability to so easily feel smug and superior, my interactions with debatelord conservatives have only been irritating at best. Have you tried being me? Joking aside, I’d rather have my teeth being pulled most of the time, although if I was a fish I imagine I wouldn’t last long given a pathological inability to avoid biting. Way I look at it, it’s not really for either of our benefits, it’s for pushing back on the high/low chance someone else comes along and goes ‘oh hey X is making a good point, nobody has any response’ or whatever. Look I gotta say teen WombaT did not envisage having to engage on such seemingly settled, or ridiculous new territory 20 years later, and for the most part does not enjoy the process. Hence why as Ifrequently say I basically only chat politics etc on TL. As much as general toxicity sucks I gotta say it’s debate lords and perpetual devil’s advocates who broke me there. I’m certainly not alone in this world in occasionally enjoying a bit of smug time, but I kinda gotta do something worth getting smug about. Throwing down a bet on Pavel Nedved winning European Footballer of the Year like 8 months out, I enjoy basking in such things for a period. Rambling aside, I think it’s something that’s just gotta be done, unfortunately. There’s not really a huge downside provided you’re not an absolute cretin in how you do so. Best (and almost unicorn) scenario you flip someone around, middle outcome you might convince someone lurking and reading, worst you do nothing but can be a bit smug temporarily. Like yeah if it’s all you spend your time doing then you’ve got a problem! I think I fundamentally disagree with you here, I actually think you have it backwards, arguing with fascists and fascist sympathizers does nothing but embolden and recruit more fascists and fascist sympathizers, these scumbags need to be thoroughly and completely locked out of public life from all angles, arguing with a brick wall doesn’t do anything but draw a lot of attention to that brick wall people keep talking to. The only time a Nazi should have their mouth open in public is when someone is pushing their boot down on it Look at the interactions in the previous few pages. The guy thinks I’m being homophobic calling him a dickrider (maybe it is, gay people use it and haven’t told me off either so I’ll let someone here to tell me off) yet doesn’t mention shit about the homophobia radiating from <waves hands around towards the Republican Party and online right wing influencers>. The guy is so adamant that that Ukraine should hold elections now yet is the type of guy to be screaming up and down about how the US needs to implement voter suppression to protect the sanctity of their elections. Despite their constitution allowing for it, the population largely not wanting elections, and logically can’t be done because there’s a country across the border literally lobbing explosives at your cities. They’re not here to have an honest debate, just to try and score points and be “right” in an argument. This is correct and important to realize. oBlade doesn't believe in anything he says. He may actually believe that he believes it (I don't know that), but if his leader would say the opposite tomorrow, he would immediately hold that position too. There are zero core principles at play with modern conservatives. Everything they say is just because they believe it makes them win (a debate, an election, whatever). He can say A today, and B tomorrow, and will either insist he never said A, or that A and B are totally compatible because the situations cannot be compared in any way. Where he gets what to believe today from, i cannot say. My guess is Fox News or something like that. But every interaction with him needs to keep this in mind. You cannot convince him, because he holds no principles, has no beliefs, and doesn't actually care about the issue. He just wants to win.
I'm not a conservative and don't have a leader. Every time someone, like GH, or some guy who made an account this month, chooses to out of the blue to post my name out of nowhere is a sign they have run out of things they know about or have any interest in, if they think stooping to "but oBlade" is a US political topic. Which is sad because there's always so much happening. I only care about issues. The attempts at soul-reading and childish name-calling are not befitting contributions. That's why you don't see me respond in kind when this happens out of the blue. It's why I won't even postulate that your post is massive projection. I am not your boogeyman.

Tbh I'd expect elon to have AI read the emails (and make the calls) so while that unironically is probably wise if you want to keep your job it won't give the satisfaction of wasting somebody's time.

Sounds reasonable.
It once again shows incompetence by Musk. Unnecessary and time consuming reporting is one of the main causes of government inefficiency, and here he comes, asking for even more reporting🙄
While writing a report, you are not doing your main job, and the person reading the report also does nothing useful.

They’re not reading anything, beyond doing a MMO filter for ‘woke words’, they’re just looking for anyone showing any resistance to the request. It’s exactly like Twitter where they fired anyone who expressed their confusion at how idiotic printing an entire forest worth of paper code to justify their position at the company is.
You know bosses like this who get you to do absolute stupid shit as a power play.
