But for employees at Daimler things are a little different. Email these people while they are on holiday and you will get a message like this:
And, although it’s fine to include certain details (e.g. what you’re doing), it’s vital to keep it professional. After all, this email will be sent to anyone who contacts you – so it’s not the place for inside jokes.
