Happy birthday. Thank you for asking the question that unblocked the room. I hope the day is easy and the year includes a decision made before the room wears out.
Formal birthday wishes for a boss
One work fact, one wish for an easy day. If you are writing with the whole team, switch pages. Write a formal boss note that names a real decision and avoids flattery, age, and fake family. Grateful boss lines are warmer and only if they earned them. These are the safe default: clear, specific, and quiet about your private life. The team page is plural.
