I do feel like the person who wrote it may have some issues in their organization with, oh letās call it fire fighting. People who donāt necessarily think through the process of who would be most effective at dealing with the problem at hand. This reads like the message of someone who is used to getting everything dumped in their email and this OOO is an attempt to manage expectations and distribute issues to the people most able to quickly and effectively deal with a range of problems

so i tested my out of office reply last night.. how is my job real life!! SEE YOU TOMORROW MIAMI
Itās also expected that if youāre in Wales you put the effort in to at least try and read Welsh, but tbh I can barely read English before 10am.
An out of office message lets you keep people informed and tells them how to proceed in your absence. You can also select options for urgent matters within your out of office message.
Exactly. It doesnāt matter if Iām sitting on the beach, on my couch, or in a hospital bedāIām not reachable and youāre gonna have to wait until I get back or contact someone else.
I donāt need some fancy, forensic gin-juggler to tell me why I like something. Just keep it simple. And real happiness is about simplicity.
Once the person reaching out to you realizes youāre gone, they may panic if they have a legitimate need for immediate support. The best way to avoid this is to let your callers (and emailers) know how to find the appropriate help.
I worked for a federal contractor back during the Great Recession when government offices were shut down/working with a skeleton crew. I still remember getting OOOs from almost every email address in the agency we worked at explaining they were on furlough & to contact one specific person if the issue was urgent. We all assumed this poor person was hiding under her desk, rocking back & forth, with her head in her hands.
Figured it out: only works when set in driving mode, and driving mode works if you are actually driving or not š Until then, this will work until they come up with a better solution. Thank you!!
No matter what your message says, just make sure you have one ā itās the polite and professional thing to so. To help you get started, weāve put together some examples you can test, tweak, use, and share with colleagues.
iām just waiting for the inevitable āBelieve it or not, ___ isnāt at work. where could i beeee?ā a la Seinfeld
My pet peeve is OOOs for the afternoon/an appointment when the person who set it up is NOT good at responding to emails in a timely fashion. If someone usually requires multiple reminders and follow up emails for me to get a reply to an email after 2 weeks, I donāt really need a notification that their responses will be delayed an hour until they get back from the doctor. It makes me think āwho are you responding to that quickly, and why canāt you reply to me that fast??ā
I donāt know what to say these days ā Iām still working from home so āout of the officeā doesnāt sound right any more, but āoff workā seems like too much? Iām probably way overthinking it but Iāve felt stuck every time I need to write one lately.
