great job

Well done, you

Great job is an exclamation of praise or congratulation for work well done: Great job on the presentation!

The phrase can be genuine or sarcastic depending on tone—sincere when someone truly performed well, cutting when they obviously didn't: Oh, great job locking us out of the car.
