Q. What if I need to work during winter break, such as to conduct ongoing research that cannot be delayed until after the break?
Professionally, I just try to be as boring as humanly possible, except in comments embedded in code.

Just say you’re away from your desk! Or if you’re out for more than a day, just say you’re “away” until XYZ date.
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.
Our office will be closed today for the [holiday name]. We will reopen tomorrow morning at [time].
Hi there, Thank you for reaching out! We are currently in the middle of our busy season so our reply may be delayed up to three days. We appreciate your patience while we look into this for you! Thank you.
If instead you ask your co-workers to cc or bcc on replies then you will know which have been dealt with. (I think for internal mails it’s more reasonable to ask that if the original person contacts someone else, they cc you so you know who is dealing – and in smaller organisations where people know you personally you could also send a mail round the day before you leave to say you’re going to be out and to ask that any enquiries are directed to [name]in your absence, to try to avoid them coming into your inbox in the first place.
The holiday season is coming, and the number one thing you would like to do before packing your bags or planning your trip is to write an out-of-office email. The vacation season falls at different times at different places across the globe, and you need to keep your auto-replies in place before you head towards a happy vacation. If you are thinking about writing an amazing out-of-office email for your auto respondent, I got your back. I am bringing up the list of top 10 amazingly creative out-of-office emails backed by marketers and email developers that you can use this holiday season. Read the article to get inspired:
The UPS driver is scheduled to pick me back up on the eighth. He should deliver me back to the office by the ninth (assuming he’s not late like he was this time).
“No matter what your best intentions, you're going to get bogged down the minute you return to the office,” Sullivan says. “Don't set exact timeframes for responding to messages in your OOO. Instead, set general expectations for‘I'll respond as quickly as possible upon my return,’ giving you some leeway.”
I’ll be at a work off-site and will have limited availability by phone and email until ___, please contact ___ for immediate needs about ____ otherwise I will respond as soon as possible”
My OOO replies are relatively boring…usually state if I’m using PTO or at a conference, dates, who to bother in my place, etc.
On the Inside My Organization tab, type the response that you want to send to teammates or colleagues while you are out of the office.

That’s weird. I’m technically teleworking almost all the time (our office doesn’t really have the space to fit us all in anyway) and I’m next to my computer nearly the whole day…
