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.
2. Out of office sick leave template. You don’t need to tell the sender too much, but it is important to say you won’t be available. If it is a long-term illness, you might not have a date set for your return.

I appreciate your message. I am out of the office currently with no office email access. However, return on the following [date-of-return].

I also kinda want to sit here with popcorn and read all the shenanigans that are about to roll in.
Huge pet peeve – several of my coworkers still have COVID-related out of office notifications. I didn’t find them necessary in the first place, since everyone was still working from home and should have been checking emails normally, but it’s especially weird now that we’re officially back in the office a couple of days a week. It feels like they’re making a preemptive excuse for responding slowly. I’m surprised management hasn’t said something, honestly.
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:
If you don't want the messages to go out right away, select Only send during this time range.
To make sure your email doesn’t get lost in a sea of messages please resend it on September 20th. If your message is urgent you can contact [contact’s name] on [contact’s email].
It’s possible I might quote from some responses to this in an upcoming column, so please note if you don’t want me to do that with yours!
Every November without fail, when I take a week off for deer season, I start my OOO with “GONE HUNTIN’!”
I used to know someone who had a snarky message about how “if this is an emergency, there are no actual emergencies in my field,” and then encouraged someone to Google for “goats in trees” and calm down. Yes, she was allowed do that in her office.
To create a new OOO template from scratch, go to Settings → Smart Tools → Templates, click + Add Template, and select Out-of-Office from the menu.
In the early 2000s I received an OOO which said “[very senior person] never reads his email, please resend your message to [his PA]”. Post navigation ← coworker loves to abuse robocallers, boss uses Facebook photos without permission, and more Ask a Manager in the media →
Thanks for your message. I am out of the office today and have limited access to email. If you need immediate assistance, please contact [Name] at [phone number], or you can try me on my cell phone at [phone number].
My OOO auto reply is fairly detailed. I have links to information for products I work with, an alternate point of contact for people to approach, etc. It’s really a CYA thing. What irks me about some OOO auto replies is when the person who is out has an alternate point of contact who is also out. Both are obvious planned absences, and both people are on the same team. Don’t they talk to one another about vacation??
