When Is The Best Time to Write a Thank You Note?
One thing to remember when writing a thank you note to your boss is: be timely. A thank you message written months after you’ve been promoted won’t have the same impact as when written on the day you received the promotion. Your boss might even think that you’re just obliged to write it and you weren’t sincere with your words.
Another consideration you need to make sure of is that they get to actually read it. Your boss is a very busy person. He receives a lot of correspondence every single day. Your message can be buried in an endless pile of letters. It might take weeks before they get to read it.
