My boss literally has a copy and paste message that he sends like this when you email in sick lol

It doesn't even matter because half the time the person ain't even sick including when he calls in sick

Edit: also I would honestly hate if my boss personally responded and wished me well, unless I was actually confirmed dying it's just sort of weird to me. A simple "OK" reply is the perfect one

Edit 2: and if you're that weird coworker who sends wish me well emails please stop doing that it's the opposite of helpful

No replies. Two edits. I wish you well.

Eh, at least they’re trying. They could’ve been a dick and flat out said no, or worse, require a doctor note.

It's illegal in my state to require a doctor's note.

What was the prompt? Asking for chatgpt to say "Okay"?

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

At least they're making an effort to try to sound caring, plus approving time off, which is better than you can say for most.

Sure thing! I can create a reply to "this fucking jackass asking for time off." Here you go! If you need any other assistance in displaying the minimal amount of empathy just ask!

Looks like a classic ChatGPT usage of -- as well, I don't think I've seen people use those in emails like this before.

I wonder if they figured out a way to use Copilot to auto respond to emails containing certain terms. Could save them a few minutes but you'd imagine it would be useful for them to know who was out that day.
