Candidly - your colleagues most likely don't appreciate it as you do, whether they know the meaning or not.
As I'm sure you're aware, in some countries, servitude is the greatest honor. But in many, it isn't; it signals 1) that you are lesser than or 2) you are very malleable person who may make a good fall person or dirty deed underling or 3) they don't believe your words and just think it's kind of creepy
I really appreciate that some countries consider it an honor, and I don't know where or who you work with, but there's a very good chance that your favorite valediction is not only underappreciated, but not appreciated at all.
Hope that's not the case but your closing comment sparked me to be candid about it for consideration.
