We send out a quarterly electronic newsletter regarding hiring topics and new products here at Select Metrix (click here if you would like to subscribe). This past Tuesday (Sept. 26) we sent out our Q3 newsletter. As always, I received many out of the office notifications. I usually breeze them but I did read this one and I am glad I did (changed the names and numbers):
I will be out of the office starting 09/22/2006 and will not return until 09/28/2007.
Jane Doe is no longer with XYZ Corporation. Please contact our main HR number at 1-111-555-1234
Apparently Jane’s absence will be a bit longer than she originally expected. Just to be clear, she did not work for Radio Shack – the “termination-by-email” corporation.
