I do like it when Agent Zero makes it up in his head that he's got a job with any kind of responsibility.
Bless.

'no actual person will be monitoring out of office replies and resending the email later'
You're not doing compliance, then, you're doing box-ticking.

Just accept that 90% of everything that everyone does in office jobs is fucking stupid and serves no purpose and I find you'll have a happier life.

I still can't believe gank doesn't know how Steve P's scenario can occur.
Stating the obvious clearly, but gank really is a thick cunt isn't he.

Compliance is one example, but regrettably not the whole picture of everything that needs to be 'caught'.
Pharma companies are like giant oil tankers changing course. Things do change and new ideas do get implemented but generally not too quickly..

You could also search the 500 for 'compliance'

Surely if it is that important they will send it more than once and use more than email as a delivery method. No intranet for important updates?
There are lots of changes afoot re email - business and people have got lazy and use it as an excuse / alternative to actual work
VW switch their servers off at 8pm and back on at 6am (or something like that) to force people to do their work in the day and not take it home.
I read a report on one company that did a study of email use and found that their employees were working the equivalent of three days a week due to the amount of email they got. They switched it off completely for any internal email and saw productivity go through the roof because....people got of their arse and communicated with other people face to face or over the phone which meant no misunderstanding of information or no ability to pass the buck with an email

It would be good but unfortunately the way we are set up, there is an expectation that things perceived as important will be picked up on return from holiday, even if this means spotting the 2 important emails out of 500.
For example we have compliance emails that may go out to a thousand people simultaneously that HAVE to be actioned, where no actual person will be monitoring out of office replies and resending the email later if you miss it. You can't pass this on to someone else to action either.
I work in pharmaceuticals where we occasionally get audited on what seem like trivial details, yet can cause big problems if something has been missed.
Although I'd love to come home to an empty inbox, it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Bungo just have your holiday out office as
I'm onannual leave and will have no access to email. If your need is urgent and requires action please resend to blahblah@blah.com or please contact me after this date .....
That way you can just delete everything as soon as you return and not pretend you are working by spending two days going through hundreds of out of date emails
Control freaks struggle with this method though

I guess if you're a gravedigger with not much need for being in the loop just a polite e mail requesting to be unsubscribed should do the trick.
