A literary agent I follow told the story of a long argument her autoreply had with a would-be author.

Her autoreply sent back another automated message, which he then in increasing anger kept responding to.

The reason for the OOOs for staff taking half-days? They didn’t want to check the shared office calendar where our time off was recorded. UGH
I can’t agree that holding on to a request for a week or so is akin to groveling.
I much prefer a team calendar that I can check rather than loads of Free invitations at the top of my calendar taking up space. My previous team did the former and I tried to get my current team to change to it but it didn’t stick unfortunately.
