I've never once been sent an autoresponder message about the hour, just OOTO vacations and the like. Are the former common these days? What about people in different time zones? Or who work different shifts? Isn't the whole idea about using asynchronous email instead of synchronous chat or DM or whatever that the time of day doesn't matter? Weird.

In Russia, this comic won't be relatable. Bosses here still use e-mail, and use regular phone calls for ASAP-like urgent requests. 172.68.10.207 05:21, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
1) Why is White Hat is hairless, and 2) what’s with the nested panels? ISaveXKCDpapers (talk) 06:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- White Hat never has hair. Yes the nested panel is a bit special but not unique. But should be mentioned in the transcript. I think it is to indicate the immediate response. --Kynde (talk) 07:27, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Is the harness an auto responding exoskeleton?--Gunterkoenigsmann (talk) 06:59, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm definitely going to need to come back when this has an explanation. I know what an email autoresponder is but that doesn't explain the joke. 172.70.130.91 07:23, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

- Some territories, and/or businesses are moving to a situation which respects work/life-balance, again, after the 24/7 always-online world started to eat into (mostly) after-hours time off - e.g. the EU's Working Time Directive, or the automatic shutdown of office computers at the end of the (nominal) working day. But there are still ways for employer/employee to get round these measures if they 'need' to (or feel pressurised to).
- The US as a whole isn't that advanced in such things, I understand... Certainly regressive in other employment issues. But it would depend upon what position White Hat actually has in what kind of business. It seems he can (and feels he can) set up something, but of course he seems to have gone over oard in the configuration of it! 172.70.86.68 12:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
