Other places have everyone send out emails saying something like "I'll be away tomorrow, contact bob if you have any problems". Do I care if you are away tomorrow? Do I know you? Why the hell are you sending this to everyone???? This is email spam as far as I am concerned. Turn on the away message on your email and phone and don't bother everyone. Well, I don't really care if you bother everyone, but stop bothering me.

Did you get a gmail account?
ReplyDeleteI got a lot of those while in the government. It really gets annoying. I can understand sending this out for people that you may actually come in contact with, but to the entire department, that's just unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteNo, no GMail account for me...
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Jim, because we work together. People are just ignorant. Maybe we should reply sometimes with something like: "Oh, really. You're leaving us for couple of days. I don't think the shop will be the same without you. Don't go. Stay. Come on. Stay. Please. If you go we will all be angry at you. Oh, and by the way, I am just kidding. We will not miss you at all, and even worse, we would not even notice that you were gone if you didn't send this annoying email. So good luck, and just think how nobody here will miss you. If you decide to stay there for life do not hesitate. When is the better time than now? Enjoy the trip."
ReplyDeleteI am sure it would make people laugh, and nobody will ever again send ìOut of officeî emails.
