Dear Customer, Thank you for your email, but our company is out of office, celebrating [HOLIDAY]. Unfortunately, it means we will not be able to send you any reply until [DATE]. We apologize for the delay but wish you a wonderful holiday season. Best regards.
Yes! I remember reading here the phrase: the default mode of clever is asshole. Meaning when trying to be clever backfires, you end up just looking like an asshole. Iāve given up the need to get laughs at my clever sense of humor while at work. I really hope that out of office message is for internal emails only, because the risk of this landing badly is too high.
Out of office messages are usually handed to managers, employees, or coworkers as a means of notifying them about your short.
I thought it was funny but could never get away with using something like that at my org. I loved the ācompetent people who work for meā part ā I make this joke all the time. We have some people who feel that they should have a manager personally attend to them and, at least in my case, my highly competent team is in the weeds of that work a lot more and are not rusty (like I am).

Seriously, literally, anything but a voicemail. Iād take āsharpie on a dirty napkin delivered by carrier pigeon to my island vacationā over voicemails. I canāt flag voicemails for later. And also, we have this cool new feature where you can see missed calls. I do not need a voicemail just saying āHey its Bob, call me back.ā
I do this too! Depending on how busy my inbox is that day, Iāll also set it to start around 4:30 pm my last day in the office before going on vacation. I have a lot of people that email me at 4:56 expecting to be #1 on my list the next morning so I try to catch them that way.
Q. Who should notify contractors, vendors and other individuals who work with various University departments that their services may not be needed during winter break?
Q. Before I leave my office for winter break, are there things I should do to safeguard my work area?
Explain why you're out. No need to go into great detail that you're traveling to seven different European countries. Simply state whether you're on vacation, at a conference, or on a business trip.
Pet peeve: a fe people I know use the OOO reply to say something like āHave a great day!ā It is on all the time, and for no helpful reason.
