“You had no obligation to teach me any of this and did it anyway, usually while under deadline yourself. Thank you. I have started doing the same for the people who joined after me, which seems like the right way to pay it back.”
“You had nothing to gain from helping with any of this and helped anyway, repeatedly. That is a rarer thing in an organization this size than it should be. Thank you.”
“Thank you for reading the draft properly and telling me what was wrong with it. Everyone else said it was fine. It was not fine, and it is considerably better now.”
“You had nothing to gain from any of this and helped anyway, several times, at short notice. In an organization this size that is a choice rather than a default. Thank you.”
“Almost everything I know about doing this job well, I learned by sitting near you and paying attention, which is not a training programme anybody designed. You explained things without ever making me feel slow for asking, and you did it while carrying your own workload. Thank you. I have tried to do the same for the newer people.”
“Thank you for being the person I check things with before I send them. It has saved me from myself more than once this year.”
“Thank you for saying the plan would not work, early enough that changing it was cheap. Being right late would have been no use to anybody.”
“I want to acknowledge the support you have given me over the past year. Your willingness to share context and explain reasoning, rather than simply answer, has materially improved how I work.”
“A rough audit suggests I have interrupted you around four hundred times this year and you have been helpful on every single occasion. Thank you, and my apologies to your concentration.”
“Thank you for being the person I explain problems to out loud, and for solving half of them by simply being present.”
“Thank you for answering the same question from me three separate times without once mentioning that it was the same question.”
