Fake, there's no way the sysadmin wouldn't throw the HR rep who signed the policy under the bus (without some CYA documentation prior).
Oh, didn't the domain somesoftwarecorp.com give it away?
Do I really need to put /s on my top comment..

CEO gets "randomly assigned" the name of a ww2 German politician... 💀
FirstInitial LastName is common format. I knew someone named Aaron Ryan who got stuck with the email address “aryan@company.com”.
Just one dot dividing the name would make it a lot better
Thankfully, a.ryan@example.com and aryan@example.com should be delivered to the same inbox.
There is no requirement to do so, although GMail's adoption of this non-standard seems to have popularized the practice.
I stand corrected. I haven't used anything other than proton mail in a while and it works there. I thought it was part of the standard
Hilbert Tlerston never stood a chance
And that poor receptionist, Penelope Nisbet
A place I worked at actually did this to a person named Diane Cupps.
Hideo Lerch
Ah yes, the famous Nazi leader Hidler.
It would be “hiler”
Adam Olfano? What about him?
Even if this is a joke, this is a great example of something that happens all the time: people avoiding responsibility by blaming some chunk of software. The electronic equivalent of "No, sir! I didn't kill that person. The butter knife did it!"
Please believe me lol
That happened
You don’t know Some Software Corp and their world famous website somesoftwarecorp.com?
Of course it didn't happen, it's a joke lol
Please believe me sounds like I don't know how to manually set emails. No way it cannot be done.
Woosh
Damn, I didn't notice that.
I guess it cannot be done if their IT infrastructure was not designed with that use case in mind. Although I'm not familiar with human resource management software, I don't find this hard to believe at all.
Also, you'll understand what Biron Tchaikovsky meant with "Please believe me" when you look at their email address. They already tried to do it, and probably complained many times before giving up.
The place I work at does something like this, and there was actually quite a bit of trouble when a second person with the same abbreviation joined. The responsible guy seriously suggested fireing the new guy because the policies didn't account for duplications.
Great
