I think it is not bad meaning, but I want to know exactly.

@yamajun You are correct, it has a good meaning. The co-worker was expressing that “he” thought well of you. That everything said about you was pleasant or nice.

When I looked "That's a nice thing to say." up , you use it as an irony sometimes,
so I worry about it
- English (US)
@yamajun “That’s a nice thing to say” can be used in an ironic or sarcastic fashion, and depends on context, who is saying it, and how it is said (tone, body language, and so on). However, saying “he/she had nice things to say” was definitely meant to express compliments, without going into detail
