Daimler's move follows Volkswagen's decision to turn email off after office hours and new guidelines in France ordering workers in some sectors to ignore work emails when they go home.

I also think you should give this email tactic a try – especially when you return from an extended break or vacation.
Me too. I don’t say why I’m going to be out when I take time off either, unless it’s a vacation I’m really excited about and just talk about naturally.
I only set my out of office if I’m going to be gone for more than one full day. Like, right now I don’t bother if I’m going to be out for one day, because in general the people who email me either know I’m out for a day or are unfazed by waiting 24 hours for a response. The last time I went out of office for a week, I came back to about 65 emails, 9 of which would have actually required my attention when I weeded through them. If I got a higher email volume, I’d do for a single day though.
I will be away from (Date) until (Return Date). For urgent matters, you can contact (Contact Person).
Season’s Greetings! It’s my favorite time of year, which means I’m currently out of the office chugging mugs of cocoa, stuffing my face with cookies, and attempting to fulfill my life-long goal of memorizing every single line of [FAVORITE HOLIDAY MOVIE]. I’ll be back in front of my computer on [DATE] and will respond to your message at that time. If you need immediate assistance, please send an email to [NAME] at [EMAIL] so that the other elves in this workshop can help you out. Happy ho-ho-holidays!
Thanks for your message! I’m currently buried in snow and will get back to you once I’ve defrosted on January 2nd.
Your out of office message can link to testimonials from your happy clients. For those of us in travel, you could try something like:
Out of office emails should be short, succinct, and to the point – and should never include more information than is needed.
LOL if I got the math/physics one I’d do the small amount of work to just to call them.
Deal www.getmailbird.com https://www.getmailbird.com/out-of-office-message-templates/ · Your out of office message should include the time period during which you will be out of your office, preferably including the exact dates.. You should also include whom the messenger should …
Finally, if you’re doing something incredible for the holiday break, you may as well let people know about it. Heading skiing for a few weeks, or going on a cruise? Put it in your out of office! It’s not like your emailers can do anything about it.
First, and most importantly, let the people trying to get in touch with you know when you’ll be gone and when you’ll be returning. There’s one more date to add — when they can expect for you to return their message.
It’s crucial for clients to feel as if they can rely on you if they have an urgent request. Before taking time off, you need to create an out-of-office email response. Let your clients and business partners know that you are currently unavailable, but will be back soon. They, understandably, expect you to reply promptly… but everybody is entitled to some time off. Just remember keep your contacts in the loop.
That 15minute breaktime message screams “past experience with a toxic company” to me.
I’m tempted to make out a “SUPER DUPER HELPFUL COWORKER” certificate to hand to them.
