Workplace safety notes

What not to write

Keep public workplace messages warm, specific, and low-risk. Avoid jokes or assumptions that could feel personal in Slack, email, or a group card.

  • Do not assume the person is retiring.
  • Do not joke about age, slowing down, or being around forever.
  • Do not reduce 25 years of service to a generic thank-you line.
  • Do not make an award or certificate line so casual that it feels disposable.
  • Do not mention specific projects, titles, or personal memories unless you know they are accurate.
