Five years. Well done.
Another year of you knowing where the spare keys are. We would be lost without you.
Three years of you making my job easier. I notice, and I am grateful.

Pick your group, use the right number of years, and sign.
Short
Five years. Well done.
Ten years is a long time to put up with us. Congratulations.
Happy work anniversary. Here is to the next five.
Another year down. Thanks for being here.
Congratulations on your work anniversary. The place is better with you in it.
From a colleague
Five years of you answering my questions before I finish asking them. Happy work anniversary.
You have been here a decade and you still remember how it was on day one. That helps more than you know.
Happy work anniversary. I have learned more from the desk next to you than from any training course.
Another year of you knowing where the spare keys are. We would be lost without you.
Your anniversary reminds me how long I have been here too. Thanks for making it bearable.
From a manager
Thank you for five years of turning complex problems into simple plans. Happy work anniversary.
A decade is a long time in this industry. Your consistency is what the team relies on.
Happy work anniversary. Your patience with new starters is why the team works.
Three years of you making my job easier. I notice, and I am grateful.
Your work anniversary is a chance to say what I should say more often: thank you for showing up.
From the whole team
Happy work anniversary from all of us. You are the reason the weekly meeting ends on time.
Five years of your calm in a crisis. We would be louder without you.
To the person who knows where everything is: happy work anniversary. Do not retire.
Your anniversary is a good day to admit we ask you first because you usually know the answer.
Happy work anniversary. The team would not be the team without you.
What to leave out
Do not write about retirement or leaving. An anniversary is about the time they have put in, not the time they have left.
Do not guess at how many years are left. Say thank you for the years that have passed.
Do not mention salary, promotions or job titles unless they changed this year. The card is for the person, not their career path.

Questions
What do you write in a work anniversary card?
The number of years and a specific detail about their time there. A real memory beats a general compliment.
Who signs a work anniversary card?
Their direct team and the people they work with day to day. A manager signs first, then the rest of the floor.
What if we missed the date?
Send it anyway. A late card that says something real is better than an on-time one that does not.
