خلفية ثقافية
Praising others is a key social lubricant. Using 'mandar bem' makes you seem 'gente boa' (a nice person). While understood, it's recognized as a 'Brasileirismo'. Locals might use 'estiveste bem'. Angolan Portuguese often adopts Brazilian slang due to the influence of soap operas (telenovelas). In games like League of Legends or Free Fire, 'mandou bem' is the standard compliment for a good play.
Use the past tense
Even if someone just finished, use 'mandou bem'. It sounds more like a reaction to their success.
Avoid with bosses
Unless you have a very close relationship, use 'Parabéns pelo trabalho' instead.
