The Stern Firm will be out of the office until 3/4 on a company-wide retreat. We will respond to all messages promptly upon return.

Of course the people on my project never use the calendar for work trips. I don’t find out that someone is on travel until I get the OOO autoreply. Weirdly, everyone puts their personal leave on the calendar and includes the reason, especially doctor visits. I don’t need to know why you are absent.
