Team birthday card lines for a coworker
One-to-one coworker lines say I. This page says we. It is not the boss card, which has to respect power, and not a roast of the birthday person for the room. Do not include an inside joke part of the team would not get. Do not mention performance reviews. Name a work habit the whole group can recognize. Keep it short enough to sign.
