Really out of office?

by elizabeth on August 20th, 2007

email.jpgHere’s a time management tip I never really thought of:

According to BBC Magazine, workers stressed out over the volume of e-mail they receive are putting up “out of office ” messages to screen incoming e-mails, and, hope that people don’t expect responses from them.

This “out of office” trickery is seen as survival for some workers who work high stress jobs and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.

Even if you think it’s dishonest, the article at least has some examples of creative “out of office” replies.

I don’t think I’d get very far with this at my job, as I only work with 2 other people, and, one of them is my boss.
