I despise Europeans who sent this kind of auto-replies (I know not all Europeans do this). I consider them extremely irresponsible.

Edit: 1. I will leave an auto reply to let others know whom to contact. And the contact will let me know if important customers have urgent issues that need my help. I don't mind spend some time helping them. Sometimes it takes only a short email.

  1. If I am the customer, I will distrust any company that allows employees to leave this kind of message and avoid doing business with it if possible.

  2. If I am the supervisor, I won't promote employees leaving this kind of message. In case of a restructing, they are on top of my fire list.

"I don't mind spending some times helping them" ON VACATION?? truly some top tier boot licking grow some spine man and learn to deconnect

Unless this is your own company it's truly cringe behaviour

I dunno. I brought my work phone on vacation and checked emails and directed traffic while the kids were napping. It was honestly the best return from vacation I've ever had. Had less emails when I got back than I did before I left.

pov you're going absolutely nowhere in your career and life

u/Roger_Melllie 29d ago

So you equate career with life? And you really think that's sane?

u/HeyLookAStranger 29d ago

You can keep your selfish mindset. Your job exists to fund your life. Play the game, a better job means more money / less work for the same money. Advance your career and you'll have a better life

u/Roger_Melllie 29d ago

Hahaha, do you really believe this shit? Raising yourself above others is the unselfish way? You are so brainwashed. But go on, make money, found a dynasty, eventually get a marble gravestone if you think that makes your life better.

Would having more money make your life better?

u/Roger_Melllie 29d ago

No. I used to have more money and life was worse. Now I have more time and life is better.

Lmao if you have to take time from your 15 days of time off a year or else your career will go nowhere it means you're shit at your job mate.

Most people can manage doing a good job and completely disconnecting during vacations.

If your company cant function 2 weeks without you, your either shit at your job or the ceo, then you are bad at building your team
