Chatbots are now among the most preferred communication channels between customers and brands. However, not many businesses get their chatbot strategy...
Duh. We're in the travel industry. Of course, an out of office message involving dolphin-speak would be at the top of our list! Who doesn't love a dolphin?

Same. I’ve been out of the office for over a year and did not change my voicemail message on my desk phone, nor have I checked it in that year. To be very honest, I didn’t usually check it even when I was in the office.
Thanks so much for your email. I took today off to [rest/relax/travel/spend time with family]. In an effort to come back fully recharged, I won’t be spending today with my phone attached to my hand. (Scary, I know.) Don’t worry, though, because I will be checking in every so often and responding to anything urgent.
Thanks for your email. I’m on vacation. On the couch. Eating chips. And bingeing Stranger Things for the eighth time (don’t tell anyone).
It’s kind of a ridiculous OOO anyway since by the time I get it from you, I have already sent my email.
That’s generally what happens in my office as well. I was handling a coworker’s portfolio for about three weeks while they were away, and we did a quick call both before (to outline the general workflow and division of responsibilities in that area) and after (so I could fill him in on any sensitive or outstanding issues that needed his attention) and it worked just fine. After the call, I forwarded the email threads for outstanding issues with a reply all so everyone involved knew Petrarch was back and handling the issue from here.

My favorite was one the one that said “I am out of the office and don’t plan on ever returning.”

1) I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position.
I do that for most cases. Occasionally I’ll change it to “I’m out of the country and will not have phone or email access.”
Thank you for your message. I’m on sick leave and will get back to you as soon as I return to the office.
