About the “overshares”: You linked to a previous column that mentioned this point, “Sometimes the over-sharing of plans can even come across as suspect — similar to how when someone’s calling in sick with genuine illness, they usually just say, ‘I’m going to be out sick,’ but fakers will generally give you a long list of overly specific symptoms, like they feel they have to convince you.”

That 15minute breaktime message screams “past experience with a toxic company” to me.
Q. Who should notify contractors, vendors and other individuals who work with various University departments that their services may not be needed during winter break?
