    Or when they list who to contact in their absence. I contact the back up...the back up doesn't know how to do what I need. So I'm stuck waiting for the original person to return from vacation anyway...

    for me, it's a BIGGER pet peeve if the person is out of the office and don't set the message, so you're continually trying to get an answer from them and you have no idea that they're gone and won't respond for a while....

    Oh, see people ignore my emails anyway. lol

    Or worse, you get an out of office message from the back up. Who in turns says to contact the person that told you to contact them.

    I didn't set my out of office when I went on vaca last month. Mainly because I couldn't figure out how. Stupid outlook 2007. I got to step 23 and said screw it. :noway:

    When the senior I work with sets his out of office telling people to contact me in his absence and I get badgered ALL day by people who think I can help when I have no idea what they need me to do!!

    I'm sorry he's away, please dont be annoyed that something that takes him 30seconds takes me 3hours to figure out - I'm trying my best! And ringing me every 2 minutes to ask if I've figured it out yet does NOT help....I will ring YOU when it's sorted!

    I don't do that for safety reasons. It be annoying to my co-workers, but I don't want the whole world to know that I'm not home right now. Seems stupid, right?

    The company I work for demands that you let everyone know when you are away. But, I disagree, I think personally, it's dangerous, not just for getting robbed, but it's also a little dangerous from a social engineering perspective. It's a bad policy and something that people shouldn't do. Instead, you just let a few people you work closely with know that you'll be out and that should suffice.

    That's my $.02 on the topic.

    and followup to that - when they ask me, for the 100th time to teach them. When the 99th time didn't work you think they would stop asking me to waste my life teaching them what a second grader should be able to do!

    That's me - everyone in the office puts me as the person to contact and I can never help them!

    Me too especially that they're all seated next to each other in one cubicle that is located beside mine. I really hate it. Many times I feel like I'm in a market place rather than inside a corporate office GRRRRRRRRR :explode:

    I don't have a problem with an out of the office message, but my co-workers don't know how to explain briefly why they are out of the office; therefore, my boss freaks out and thinks they are just skipping out and not on vacation.
