what What does adding quotes to a expression do to it'sits meaning?

I always thought it meant sarcasm when someone wrapped "quotation marks around a word.

"Thank you" for coming over...

"Thank you" for coming over...

That thank youthank you now was said sarcastically and was a passive-aggressive way of saying that the writer wasn't truly thankful.

This morning I got a email sent to the entire office from my boss as such:

"Thank You" for your commitment, dedication and the support

"Thank You" for your commitment, dedication and the support

Does it mean sarcasm or emphasis?
