“Common Questions
Q.Is it appropriate to send sarcastic New Year wishes to a colleague?
Yes, as long as you know your colleague well and have an established rapport. Avoid sarcasm with new colleagues, supervisors, or anyone who might misinterpret your humor. When in doubt, opt for a more traditional greeting.
Q.When should I send New Year wishes to colleagues?
The best time is during the last work week before the holiday break. Avoid sending on New Year's Day itself when people are off work. For remote teams, consider sending a day or two earlier to account for different time zones.
Q.Should I send individual messages or a group greeting?
Individual messages feel more personal, especially for close colleagues. For larger teams or departments, a well-crafted group message works well. Mix approaches: send individual sarcastic wishes to close coworkers and a more general (but still humorous) greeting to the broader team.
