Writing a Card for Someone at Work Can Be Tough
If you can't think of what to write in your co-worker or boss's birthday card, you're probably not alone. Co-workers and bosses aren't easy to write to because you may not know them as well as say, your close friends and family. For this reason, it's usually best to keep it professional.
Another problem is that these types of birthdays seem to creep up at the last minute. You usually find out from another co-worker on the day-of and need to write something in a card fast.
You don't have hours to research what you should write. If you're here, then you've come to the right place for ideas. Depending on your relationship, your approach for writing to co-workers may differ from your approach for writing to your boss. Suggestions for both scenarios are included below.
If you can read the fine print, then you don't need this coupon.
