La réponse en bref
Kind ways to say "you look tired" at work
Talk about the person's day or offer help instead of commenting on their face. Say "You had a long day," "Get some rest," or "Do you need a break?" These lines show you care, and they don't make the other person feel judged about how they look.

Comprendre chaque réplique
-
You had a long day. Ton: Gentle and kind
Use it near the end of a busy day, when you can see someone is worn out. You talk about the day, not the face, so it sounds kind. Don't use it in the morning, before the day has really started.
“You had a long day.”
-
Get some rest. Ton: Caring and warm
Use it when someone is leaving work or going home. It works with coworkers, friends, and family. It sounds strange in the middle of a meeting, when the person can't rest.
“Hey, Nick. Get some rest.”
-
Do you need a break? Ton: Honest and direct
Use it with people you know well, like a close teammate. The question is direct, so with a new colleague or a senior manager it can sound like you think they aren't coping.
“Do you need a break?”
-
How are you holding up? Ton: Soft and supportive
Use it during a busy or stressful period, like a big deadline. It asks how someone is managing without saying they look bad. It's too serious for a normal, quiet day.
-
You've been working really hard lately. Ton: Warm and appreciative
Use it to notice someone's effort over days or weeks. It sounds like praise, so it's safe with almost anyone at work, including your manager.
-
Can I take something off your plate? Ton: Helpful and practical
"Off your plate" means "away from your list of tasks." Offer this only if you really have time to help. Don't say it if you can't follow through.

You look terrible today.Formulation conseillée You had a long day.
Comments about someone's face or appearance can feel rude at work, even when you mean well. Talk about the day or the workload instead.
-
À corriger
You have a long day.Formulation conseillée You had a long day. / You've had a long day.
The long day has already happened, so use the past simple or the present perfect. "You have a long day" means the long day is still ahead.
-
À corriger
Take a rest.Formulation conseillée Get some rest. / Take a break.
English speakers usually say "get some rest" when someone goes home to sleep, and "take a break" for a short stop at work. "Take a rest" sounds less natural.
