A. Employees should take this time off to relax and recharge before spring semester commences.

According to American Express, “Six in ten customers feel that companies meet their service expectations”. Customers look for faster resolution and rely on the expectations that businesses set with queue time for evaluating their service quality.
I’ve used language like “I’m out of the office at a conference” before and that doesn’t mean I’m not checking email.
I work at an animal shelter and I have included a picture of an adoptable pet when I’m on vacation – I don’t know if that comes across as annoying or not, what do you think?
