Thank you for your message. I am currently out of the office, with no email access. I will be returning on (insert date).
As a part time person, I now put an OOO on my non-work days since I was getting snarky comments about slow response times. (People donât realize Iâm part time and my position is not suited at all to it.) Dude, I didnât respond because I donât get paid to work on Fridays.

Our office will remain closed for Christmas. We assure you that all your emails will be answered as soon as we return to the office. Merry Christmas!
Weâve gone into lockdown in my state again, and one of my colleagues (events) has put the following as her out of office: Thank you for your message, I am working however there may be a delayed response as we manage our current events that have been affected by the recent XXXXXX Lockdown. I will respond to your request as soon as I am able. If the matter is time sensitive that can not wait please contact me on my mobile:
Way too long, but so hilarious. I donât get condescending at all. Iâm drooling while imagining I had this on my work phone when everyone thought their requests were life or death. Actually, I wanted my message to say, âI realize you think your request is vitally important, but Iâd like to reassure you: I worked in a hospital years ago, and good news! Itâs really not.â
Oh my gaaaaawwwwdddd my mother used to do this. Like, her work voicemail was âHello, you have reached Lizyâs Mother, Job Title at Company Name. Today is Thursday, June 3. I am in the office today, but away from my desk at the moment. If youâll leave a message with your name, phone number, and reason for your call, Iâll get back to you as soon as I can.â
Out of office messages differ depending on whether you are sending them within or outside the company. The language you use and the information you provide can also depend on the workplace environment. Here are three out of office message examples that illustrate these differences.
Using email copy creatively can go miles when using an autoresponder. The mundane, repetitive language is the number one reason behind people sighing and not the unavailability of the concerned person. Getting creative with the email copy can de-escalate the frustration and even put a smile on their face. Everyone needs a break, and words can convey it beautifully like this example.
Having easy access to your work even when you away from the office doesnât mean you donât take time to disconnect and relax for a while. You deserve to take a break, muting all the mailboxes and switching off your work phone for a couple of days or weeks. However, there is a lot you should put in place before going away from your office, in the true sense.
(Aside: at my job, when you open a new browser window, a random picture of employee pets pops up. It changes every time. I could just refresh all day long.)
I found the linkâŚand they gave the incorrect sign to the person who approved it for printing as a gift when he retired! https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/man-responsible-welsh-translation-gaffe-15214716.amp
The OOO: was there ever a less apt acronym? (Ooo? Ugh, more like.) It wouldnât be so bad if it actually worked when it was your turn to set one up, but unless you happen to live in France, where a workerâs âright to disconnectâ is enshrined in law, the twin fears of missed opportunities and the mail mountain thatâs piling up in your absence will likely keep you furtively glancing at your in-box.

Some of the people I know that have a lot on their plate are able to deal with a large volume of email with intent and integrity. Itâs worth taking a look at how they deal with email so you can model some of their habits. Iâve listed three people below who I know handle their email really well.
I think I started following that Tiktok account after this video and, if I recall correctly, the OOO writer is an SVP who is trying to reset a company culture that has very little work/life balance. I always liked it, but that background info made me love it that much more.
