When you’re out for the holidays, how can you express your thrill for the season without sounding, well, cheesy?
How's that for an out-of-office message? Probably not ideal. As a working professional, emails are your lifeline. And even when you're not around to respond, you need to let senders know you're not actually ignoring them.
