I want to send my boss a hand written thank you note, but my firm is 100% remote. I happen to have her address from a past project. Should I sent it or is that too weird?

Send it to the office they work at and notify them upon delivery. It would be weird to send it to there home address unless you know them very personally and have been to there home imo. Just one person’s opinion though

Yeah I reckon you’re fine to send her a note then, wouldn’t say there’s anything particularly odd about that. I’m assuming you also have a fairly decent relationship with her as well

If you’re worried about it you can always ask that person. “Hey X, is it okay if I send you a letter/thank you/gift/etc”

I sent my mentor a gift in the mail and asked for his address and permission to send it. On a call I just said something like “hey, I really appreciate all your time and helpful advice and would love to send you a small group gift. Do you mind sharing your address with me so I can mail it?

Also ensures their address is up to date. I sent fresh baked cookies for him and his family (tiff’s treats) and cable/cord organizers I found off Amazon

Why do you think that a heartfelt email is not sufficient?

A hand written note to someone who’s probably gone out of their way to support you & provide guidance is much nicer than an email saying - thanks

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
