I actually hate that feature – I LOVE manually updating it myself but I know most of my coworkers benefit from having it that way.

A couple work friends and I banded together years ago to fill each others’ voicemails so it would be impossible to leave us new voicemails.
We are closed today for the [public holiday name]. Our office will re-open tomorrow at am.
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?
So what do good out-of-office messages look like? Here are a handful of examples that will help you craft the perfect out-of-office message:
I had a coworker whose former employer required them to update their voicemail message every day. “Hello, you’ve reached MaryMary. Today is Thursday, June 3rd. I am in the office all day but may be away from my desk for meetings. Please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as possible.” She got in the habit and still updated her VM everyday. Occasionally I run into someone elsewhere in our industry with a daily VM message and know they used to work at the same place.
This is hilarious. I always read those kinds of efficiency hacks and think “wow, I wish I had the kind of job that let me set hard, weird boundaries for myself that inconvenience everyone else,” and now I learn that I apparently could have just asserted it without it being appropriate at all.
That would drive me mad. I’m okay with in meetings all day but if you’re just going home at a normal time that’s ridiculous!
Thank you for your e-mail. Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer your e-mail before 01.02.2021.
Thank you for your message. I am currently out of the office, with no email access. I will be returning on (insert date).

I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m really tired of the ones that are basically “I’m in a meeting for an hour and I’ll check my messages when I return.”
To then turn it off after your break, you follow the same steps but this time you simply check Vacation Responder Off instead of Vacation Responder On.
The problem is that some people will just keep the old message, with contact information for their coverage and whatnot. If you do this, it’s important to change the date.
