Is saying "Thank you for your email" in out of office reply de rigueur or weak?

Date: February 19th, 2026 9:26 AM Author: Nazca Redlines It seems totally unnecessary, performative in that an automated "thank you" isn't a real, sincere thank you, and inapplicable to the vast majority of emails, which I'm not thankful to receive.
In before "beep beep beep." |
Date: February 19th, 2026 9:29 AM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; Weak. Shortest possible message with just dates plus “responses will be delayed” no “here’s my co-worker you can bother” no “I’ll be checking periodically” just an implicit “fuck off I’m on vacation” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5836235&forum_id=2],#49679868) |

Date: February 19th, 2026 10:08 AM Author: Nazca Redlines CR except the part about not listing colleagues who are covering for you. That's valuable because (a) you should help facilitate work getting done in your absence instead of leaving people hanging and (b) you will come back to less work piled up if someone else does it while you're out.

Date: February 19th, 2026 1:11 PM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; Nah only if the colleague is also negatively impacted by the work sitting around. The requester if they are so fucked by your vacation can do their own leg work to get it reassigned. Listed colleague should be effectively “this person who knows I’m out also needs to get your shit moved along for their own purposes so talk to them.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5836235&forum_id=2],#49680349) |

Date: February 19th, 2026 1:25 PM Author: Nazca Redlines How does this work, in practice? You just have people looking for you getting increasingly MAF that you're not responding? Or, worse, you promptly respond while "away"? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5836235&forum_id=2],#49680402) |

Date: February 19th, 2026 1:26 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Of all the indignities of modern, corporate, office life, out of office messages is relatively small. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5836235&forum_id=2],#49680408) |
