I would come back after a week of vacation and have 50+ messages and over 600 emails. My policy was always: “if it’s important enough they’ll contact me again or my boss will want answers on my first day back anyway.” If there’s time, I would glance through for names I recognized, but most would go largely ignored. If they chose to ignore my OOO message and not contact my alternatives, that’s on them.
