[quote=Anonymous]Since the pandemic, I’ve noticed a number of auto replies along the lines of: “I’m taking a mental health break from e-mail this week. Please consider recalling this message if it isn’t urgent. Otherwise, my response will be delayed.” “I’m out of the office this week and will return your message when I return on Monday.” Except they are not officially on PTO, say they are working remotely, and enter M-W as worked and actually begin their PTO on Thursday. They effectively just threw up a barrier to emails by saying they were out when they were paid to work. I’ve seen others like: “I’m focused on other work today and will respond to your message later this week.” This reply is constant, not periodic. The best: “I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to handle email this week. You probably are, too. Perhaps try sending fewer emails? If you need to reach me urgently, please call or text.” They don’t include a phone number. Has everyone lost their minds? [/quote]
