This is the soap box I’ll stand on every single time. Stop putting your phone number in your out of office - nothing is ever that important and if for some reason it is, your leadership can get ahold of you. Take real time off, don’t message your team, don’t check in.
But also executive leadership exclaiming that at end of year and then inevitably scrambling for docs, false escalations, BS crap that doesn’t need to be done is a joke. FFS look at what you’re actually asking of your team.
Whew… didn’t think I could still be that passionate about work dynamics 😂😂
Ummm ... have PTSD much? 😂 The phone number in OOO is another great callout. If you're out, be out. Leaders need to recognize the importance not only for our own health but also for how we earn trust with and show up for our teams.
