Avoid Out-of-Office Outrage this Christmas

4 Keys to Avoiding Out-of-Office Outrage this Christmas

Happy Christmas! Taking time off this year? Spending time with the family? Taking a little trip? Or just getting away from the office for a bit? Well, that sounds great. Hope you have a wonderful time. Except… well, I hate to even mention this, but you seem like a good sort, so here’s a little tip:

You know what really ruins a Christmas holiday? I mean completely, utterly, totally destroys the peace and tranquillity of the season? It’s coming back to work in January and finding out that everyone hates you – not because you took your holiday, but because you left without telling anyone where that one critical file was stored or how to contact the vendor about that one really important event or whatever it is that they needed to get on with without you.
