If you were just chatting and were both aware of each others situation, you might've said じゃ、頑張って下さい and your Japanese colleagues could have said お疲れ様. | |
| Jun 15, 2011 at 2:46 | comment | added | Troyen | Ah, I figured my morning comment might be weird. In this particular context, I had just finished a conference call where I was dialing in from the US communicating with coworkers in Japan. It was the end of the day for me, but the start of the work day for them, so I wasn't sure if it would be strange to say お疲れ様 when we were done. | |
