An Office Thank You Gone Wrong ...

A co-worker has given you the report. You want to acknowledge you received it. You were very relieved to get the report in time, because your boss is a stickler for promptness.

You say to a sensitive co-worker, “I got the report. Thanks for getting it to me on time.”

You get a weird look. Your co-worker has taken your appreciation and turned it into a backhanded compliment about you expecting it to be late.

It’s not the people at work are jerks. (well, nah it isn’t). It’s just that they are so used to NOT being appreciated they think a thank you is a dig. So, just keep it simple. “I just wanted you to know I got the report. Thank you.” Even better the second somebody hands you something say, “Thanks.”
