Does an auto-response count? Are you willing to bet your job and healthcare on whatever your answer to that is? Plenty of federal employees do not have email access outside of their workplaces for a variety of reasons. and Musk has tweeted repeatedly about this, and even if he didn't an email threatening to auto-resign the entire federal workforce is going to cause a stir. This should be obvious to anyone. So, it's a stupid idea and you support it and it's not even the real reason anyway. And edit to address your edits: You appear to have forgotten that your claimed reason for this was to catch out people who don't check their emails. Now you're angry at me for suggesting these people exist, when my whole point was that if they exist this is a stupid way to catch them out.

Yes the point is to catch people who are not checking emails. This is like the single most basic primary function of a modern office job. If you can’t check emails you should be fired. You are not useful for office work.

  It might be a language barrier but you seem to have trouble understanding basic points being made, or are pretending not to understand because your point was illogical. So I'll repeat my point one more time and then give up: This is a stupid and ineffective way to catch out people who don't read their email.

    It’s obviously quite effective or all the people who are not checking their email would not be crying all over the Internet about how they’re going to get caught by it. Literally send any reply. Elon was even replying to tweets about people sending AI generated replies saying that would be fine. It is less effort than your multiple replies to me explaining why people should not have to answer their work email.

      You're really missing the point. It's not that replying to the email is hard. That's never been the point. The point is that you got a new boss, and his new best friend who doesn't work for the company just sent you an email that says "Tell me 5 things you did last week or you're fired, also feel free to bullshit it or make an AI reply, lol". It's stupidly unprofessional and disrespectful, and not the way the company should run. Replying to an email is easy. Replying to an email by an outsider who is threatening to fire you is bullshit.
