Savage / Roast Thanksgiving Wishes for Colleague
Tired of the same old 'grateful for your hard work' messages? This Thanksgiving, it's time to swap sincerity for some good-natured corporate savagery. Get ready to dish out some much-deserved roast alongside the pumpkin pie, because your colleagues probably deserve it.
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope your family doesn't ask you what you *actually* do all day, unlike us.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving as productive as our last team meeting. Enjoy the extra sleep.

Common questions
How do I ensure my roast isn't taken too seriously?‹
The key is knowing your colleague's sense of humor. Deliver with a wink, a smile, or a follow-up 'just kidding!' to signal it's all in good fun. Consider your workplace culture and existing relationship carefully before dishing out the jokes.
Is it appropriate to send these via email?‹
For the best impact and to ensure tone isn't lost, a face-to-face delivery with a laugh, or a written card passed in person, is often best. If emailing, consider adding an emoji or a disclaimer like 'Happy Thanksgiving! (Totally kidding, mostly!)' to soften the blow.
What if my colleague doesn't appreciate the humor?‹
If you're unsure, it's always safer to err on the side of caution and opt for a more traditional, sincere message. If you do deliver a roast and it falls flat, a quick, genuine apology and explanation that it was intended as a joke can help smooth things over.
