I absolutely hate this and it would definitely irritate me if received. I agree with the letter writer that it comes over as condescending and also a bit passive agressive in places. I’m definitely not the audience for this one! Presumably this is an internal only version and the company culture would find this cute / funny.
Unfortunately, I have gone through all the steps several times and it still does not work on my IPhone. Have others had issues as well?

I got the original voice mail on my landline when it became available for home use. It replaced the old voicemail recorder you could buy.
I’ll add my shout out to MS and Outlook for not only being able to schedule OoO auto replies, but for having internal and external facing options.
“I am out of the office until X date. Your email has been deleted unread. If it is still important, please resend it after my return.”
I dunno – I think it says more about the writer than the culture. I worked in tech where there were always a handful of people who would do stuff like this, but most people would keep it basic. I just think some people love putting funky or gimmicky twists on rote stuff.

Merry Christmas and thanks for your email! I’m taking a few days off to spend time with my family and friends, so I won’t be answering emails as quickly as usual. You can expect to hear back from me by (insert date).
Otherwise, a referral to your company’s general contact email or a simple ‘I’ll respond when I get back, stop bugging me’ should do the trick.
They happen when you have at least two auto-reply systems set to respond to every single email that somehow start messaging each other.
By the way, BizzyWeb will be closed November 26-27, December 24-25 and January 1. We promise to only use professional and appropriate out-of-office messages, and to reply as soon as we are back in the office. Happy Holidays from the Hive!

I emailed this person 3 times and never got a response. Thankfully they weren’t upset when we moved forward without their input.
