Does 'thank you for being a friend' sound sarcastic?

The 'a' part...?

It just sounds like you were watching "The Golden Girls." I'd be inclined to recommend personalizing it, "thank you for being my friend" or "you're a great friend, thanks for being you."

@iamnikki I would tend not to use "friend" in a work environment. Perhaps that's just me, so I would try to express the sentiment without that word, especially if you still work for the same organization or in the same industry.

@toddr13 I'm leaving the company...

@iamnikki You're leaving, so I'd say "It's been a pleasure getting to know you and working with you..." something like that. If she were a "friend" in the sense of the word outside of work, your leaving would not end the relationship, so since it's concluding for now, at least, I'd steer clear of the word because it has a personal connotation that may not be the most appropriate for the work setting.

It should say “my” friend

It sounds ominous: an advance farewell

@Success well I am leaving the job, so it [b]is [/b] a farewell

You may want to try this. I will always appreciate the friendship we shared.

No, it isn’t sarcastic....and it’s a great song.
