An out of office message is a compact text that conveys the most important facts:
The problem was that this had to be done on deadline and people wanted me to do other things for them that weren’t time sensitive. So I put up an internal-only out of office that basically said “hey sorry I’m working on project X and we have a tight deadline. If this isn’t urgent I’ll get back to you next week. If it is urgent, let me know!”
.

Remember to change the dates, and double-check to make sure they’re correct if you’re resuming the same message you used the last time.
I kept it even though I received it four years ago because it made me laugh so much!
Sounds like it’s clear in your mind what you want to happen, but I’ve heard plenty of people say, “Of course you took it somewhere else, that’s what I told you to do, and now I have two action-less emails to trash rather than one.”
Every time the grocery store clerk asks, “Would you like to donate to breast cancer?” I have to bite my tongue.

No reddit on this rig, but “company-wide email + 30,000 employees + auto-responders =” as a search should get you there. Totally worth the hunt.

And describing their boss as elusive….taken in context with the rest of the message…seems a bit of an attempt to say, “I run this ship solo so good luck with getting them to “help”, lol”
I say I am “away from my desk”, or “unavailable”. To indicate I am working, “I will be at my desk from xhour to yhour on xday”.

A former coworker used to always include a kitten picture when she submitted invoices.
I have no idea! He was pretty quirky, but in a harmless way. Like, he didn’t expect other people to spend that kind of time on their VM greetings, and he took our good-natured ribbing about his unusual habits in stride.
I am on sick leave with no access to emails and phone calls. Hence, kindly expect a delayed response.
