Japanese People Say This 10 Times a Day. English Has No Word for It.

To say Thanks for your effort, good work in Japanese, say お疲れさまです (otsukaresama desu).

It's not thank you. It's not goodbye. And most tourists use it in exactly the wrong place.

otsukaresama desu Thanks for your effort, good work
