This is an actual e-mail auto-reply that a co-worker of mine received. If this isn't straight out of Dilbert, I don't know what is . . .
I want to just flood this person's inbox with items that I need assistance with AFTER her year is up. And the "Thanks. Have a great day." (with its obvious lack of enthusiasm!) is especially priceless.

(ps--this comes from a Canadian co-worker--do folks in Canada really get a flippin' YEAR of maternity leave?!)

Yeah, in some provinces they get like 50 weeks of mat leave. They're trying to bribe us to have more babies.
that is just so not fair . . .
Probably her supervisor was given 6 months notice, but just couldn't find anyone to cover the job!
We only get 3 months (paid).
And the writer was never seen again...
Really. It's a year. 52 weeks and can be divided between the parents (6 months each or other combination) or not. In my province at least.
they do in Sweden I believe, and the men get 6 months off...
