What was really bad - I worked at a company that had the bright idea of
automagically copying the marketing director with all tech support mail
so that he could see the kinds of issues customers were having. I have
no idea what they were thinking, it seems to me those kind of e-mails
would be useless.
Anyway - he went on vacation, and every customer mailing us with a tech
support issue got an auto-responder from him stating that he would get
back to them in 7 to 10 days ...
