So here's a breakdown for how to write the perfect, most concise out-of-office message.
I’m currently out of the office for the holidays. While you are reading this response, I am probably: Trying not to laugh at my [relative’s] corny jokes Trying not to get pissed at my [relative] asking me why I still don’t have a boy/girlfriend Attempting to explain my career to my [relative] for the 800th time Trying not to get hungry (I’m probably busy stuffing my face with cookies)

What’s the beef against part time staff? I am part time and I think it’s a courtesy to let correspondents know when I am at my desk. I also appreciate getting it from other people as I can either escalate or make s mental note of when I expect to hear back.
This is something I recommend doing only after you understand the dynamics of your workplace and your clientele.

Top www.codetwo.com https://www.codetwo.com/blog/11-professional-out-of-office-examples/ · If you can and do – include this information in your out of office message. This will give your out of office message a professional vibe. But if you are not going to look at emails when you are gone – do not give others any false hope. The reason for absence – now this one is tricky. You should include the reason for your absence (vacation/ business travel), but you should avoid being specific.
Note: If you don't see Automatic Replies, use Rules and Alerts to set up your out-of-office message.
