My new job provided a template OOO as part of the onboarding brand templates package! I’m sure it might seem like overkill to some, but I’ve had tons of nervous first-job employees ask me what theirs should say, so I loved that they just gave a sample to go from.

I get the attempt to be witty but it’s really sad that she isn’t more generous.
I followed all the steps listed and can’t make this work for my iPhone 6s. Any suggestions?
