If you're happy and you know it please don't show it...

This inter-office email forced a wry smile from my lips.


Hi Level Two Workers

There is a card for M--- B--- on my desk to congratulate her on her upcoming
wedding. I will be sending this card to Level 1 at 4:30 today so if you want to
sign it please come and see me before then.

Please respect that M-- does not want a big fuss made.

Regards,

A---


Office life is such an etiquette minefield. Must we be told how sincere or expressive our congratulations are?

How about I congratulate her but not really mean it? Will that suffice?
