How should I bid farewell to a superior?


My boss is leaving soon after years of service. What would be a good way for
me to express my gratitude for all of his guidance and help?

I am somewhat familiar with the expression お世話になりました but am unsure if this is
an appropriate occasion to use it. Are there other phrases that would be more
suitable in a corporate environment?




I would say the expression お世話になりました is spot on. Especially since you are
trying to express gratitude for guidance, which is contained in the word 世話
"looking after; help; aid; assistance". Moreover, お世話になりました is formal and
certainly suitable for a corporate environment. To adapt it to your situation,
you could say, e.g.

> 長い間お世話になりました。
