This cutie 😍

I cut my own hair
I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

Depends on what it says. Most of the ones we receive are just FYI - no response really needed. Some also inform us of any life changing news - new baby, house burned down, death in family, etc...

I put up a summer vacation responder and only check once a week.
I “triage” my email with my phone. Most are non-emergency. In medical terms, “call the office and make an appointment in two months.” Yes, some are “take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning” with an occasional “stat” response, but most get to wait. My time is my time.
I don't sign into my work email during the month of July. If it's an emergency, someone will call me.
No need to respond!! This is your well deserved summer vacation!! The emails aren't going anywhere. They will be right there when you return to work. However, if you're anxious 😟 you can check once a week.
No. They are not paying you so you don’t need to be answering their emails. The more you give , the more they take. Enjoy your break. You work hard enough during the school year.
Not until August 1. If they need me to know something sooner, they’ll call.
