In a role where I got many OoO replies, I actually loved this. (And wrote back in said language. And got a reply!)
The bad news is that I’m out of office. The good news is that I’m out of office and enjoying elotes in Cancún.

I hate the overshare. It drives me nuts. I’ve seen a lot lately that say essentially “After this crazy year I’m spending some much needed quality family time with Jane and the kids doing abc.” yada yada yada.

Our auto-replies to outside people are two or three paragraphs long though, which feels ridiculous but is actually necessary.
Huh. This is a rare column from you that I disagree with almost entirely.
