When you receive a birthday card at work do you push it to the side, do you toss it next to your TPS reports and let it collect dust? If that describes your yearly birthday ritual maybe it is time to start thinking about this another way. In a world of impersonal hiring and firings, where a lot of workers barely actually set foot in an office\u2026there\u2019s something special about being remembered. There\u2019s something special about not being forgotten. There\u2019s something special about those birthday cards.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Birthday<\/a><\/center>Business birthday cards signed by your co-workers are a keep-sake. Believe me; I have a whole wall of them. Take some time to look at these old cards. Oh look, there\u2019s when I turned 35. Bill from accounting wrote about how my Yankees aren\u2019t that good. Little did he know they would go on and win the World Series that year! Now let\u2019s gander at the year I turned 32. Nancy from production drew a funny picture of my cat Smitty. Little did I know I would end up getting Smitty cat friend to live with that we now call Ms. Holly. And little did I know I would have to deal with seven kittens then next year. All these birthday cards are reminders of where we\u2019ve been and how we got here. Not to mention it\u2019s nice to know your boss cares a little bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you receive a birthday card at work do you push it to the side, do you toss…","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1297,31,1292],"tags":[38,912],"class_list":["post-4686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-birthday-inspiration","category-business-birthday-cards","category-occasions-and-celebrations","tag-birthday-cards","tag-business-birthday-cards","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"\nBirthday Cards Mean Something to Me -
