Mais contexto Seria bom...
Me, statement versus Me? Question.
The simple word "me" could be a question or a statement. Let's say, for example, you're with a group of people and someone says, "who can help me tomorrow? You might volunteer and say me. Me, Me, voice goes down in pitch. Me. But let's say the person who asked "who can help me?" is staring right at you. And you feel like, are they asking me? Then you might say "Me?" Question. Me? As in, are you specifically asking me to help?
Understanding Não teria relação com as perguntas feitas pelos funcionários a eles mesmos?

but would suggest one important change—that it be about “us,” not “me.” The “me” question is too easy—if people really thought that some bit of technology was making their minds or their lives worse, they could always go back to the typewriter, or the Britannica, or the US Postal Service. The tough question is “us’”if every individual makes a choice that makes him or her better off, could there be knock-on effects that make the culture as a whole worse off (what the economists call “externalities”)?

Ultimately it’s my call so I decided to go with the “you” question in the hope that it would attract a wider range of individualistic responses.
