KAYAK reveals Canadians are saying sayonara and signing off on vaca with new Slack OOO
Canadians are done working on vacation with 80% of employed Canadians saying they are willing to take a vacation to a destination with little to no cell service in order to unplug from work, according to a new survey from KAYAK, the world’s leading travel search engine. And despite half (50%) of employed Canadian adults having been contacted by their boss for a work-related matter while on vacation, over half (57%) don’t find it difficult to log off from work while on vacation, prioritizing self-care and signing off.
With 40% of employed Canadians around the country setting up email auto-replies to unplug from work, KAYAK is launching theSlack Out of Office (OOO) Generatorplugin – good for crafting custom colourful responses on the platform – so you can truly help keep your boss at bay and enjoy your next vacation.
Enter your days off and answer a few multiple-choice questions like where you’re going, your favorite way to unwind outside of work and how spicy you want the response to be and voila! Here’s mine 🙂
From there, simply copy and paste the response into your Slack status and email auto-reply.
