Prompt:
Can you please help me with formatting for my newsletter? I think recognition is really important so we’re going to celebrate birthdays and employment anniversaries in the December newsletter. I’d like to include a section on current month birthdays and next month birthdays so staff have time to plan for gifts for their coworkers if they want to. We shouldn’t include their ages because I don’t want to out people like that. But for employment anniversaries, let’s just do the current month and we should include how many years they’ve been with the company as of December 2025. I mostly isolated the relevant employees in my dataset, but there could be a few stragglers. The information is also a bit outdated – the Performance department has been absorbed by the Quality department, Iris has been promoted to Team Leader, and the Human Resources department is now called People and Culture. Don’t include employees who have been terminated for obvious reasons. Let’s not even mention them at all, since I don’t think it would be very good for morale! I want some special formatting too please – bold the employee name and include their department in brackets. I guess we should also identify their roles since the business has a million employees and it would be helpful. We can put the role beside the department. Let’s put a little blurb at the beginning of each section about celebrating our employees and we care about them, and they should show each other they care, stuff like that. Oh, I also hate acronyms so don’t include any at all.
