I don’t know about policies in your company, but when you actually decide to take a leave, don’t be afraid to announce it. It’s essential for your well being to disconnect from time to time.
And when you decide to do it, why don’t you set up some funny out of office messages like one of these below. At least people who stayed at the office will have something to smile about.
"I will be out of the office and returning next week. I have incredibly easy access to a phone and email, but I assure you, it will not be used for work purposes."
[i]"I’m not in the office right now, but if it’s important; tweet me using #InterruptYourVacation."[/i]
[i][i]"I am on annual leave until dd/mm/yyyy. I will allow each sender one email and if you send me multiple emails, I will randomly delete your emails until there is only one remaining. Choose wisely. Please note that you already sent me one email."[/i][/i]
[i][i][i]"I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position."[/i][/i][/i]
[i][i][i][i]"On vacation. Hoping to win the lottery and never return."[/i][/i][/i][/i]
[i][i][i][i][i]"Thanks for your email. I’m currently on holidays with my family for the first time in (what seems like) forever. For urgent matters, Gladys will help you. She doesn’t have a cape, but she is basically superwoman. See you real soon NSW, Mike."[/i][/i][/i][/i][/i]
[i][i][i][i][i][i]"I’m out of the office from 11/11 to 11/17, and I will not be checking email. It’s likely your note will be swallowed in a sea of inbox banality, never to be seen again. if you require a response, please resend your email after 11/18. For urgent editorial issues, please contact the channel or features editor responsible for that content. If you are Donald Trump, text me bro. We need to talk."[/i][/i][/i][/i][/i][/i]
