FAQ
Should I include my phone number for urgent matters?
Only if you’re genuinely reachable and comfortable with that — otherwise, naming a colleague or simply noting you’ll respond upon return is fine.
Can this work for a full week off, not just the long weekend?
Yes — just adjust the return date accordingly; the same structure applies to any length of time away.
Does this work for a client-facing role that needs a more formal tone?
Mention that directly and ask for a more formal register — the core structure still applies.
