Dear all,

Do we say I am currently out of office or I am currently out of the office?

What is the difference?

Thanks.

Hello Yuppie,

the way I understand it, "to be out of office" means that the person has either resigned or was fired from his duty. "To be out of the office" means that the person has stepped out of the office for a while and will be back later.
