When one of the managers at my work left, one of the guys on her team wrote “Glad you found a more suitable role” in her card. I always thought that was a good trade off between getting your point across and remaining somewhat professional.
Nothing.
The same thing that should be put into a good colleague’s farewell card. They’re leaving. The problem is over. Don’t do things now, just before the finish line, that could follow _you_ going forward.
Best of luck in your future endeavours. Take the high road.
“Hope it all works out”
Have the life you deserve
Better not to sign it at all. A card with few messages must hurt.
At one of my works a leaving card and collection envelope circulated over 400 people for an unpopular manager. It collected a 2p coin and a 1p coin after passing 400 peoples hands.
“Good luck”
And sign
I’d keep it short and simple, something like ‘All the best to you’, then sign off with your name.
If your manager reviews the card before it’s given to your colleague, he/she will see you’ve contributed positively and it’ll nudge their impression of you as being a team player, which is a plus for you.
And as another comment below mentions, take the high road.
Best Wishes, AN OTHER.
You don’t have to stoop to their level.
Get one that doesn’t open
Nothing. Just don’t sign it
HIT THE ROAD, JACK!
An extra sticky glitter bomb
Fair winds and following seas. (Because that will take them far away from you.)
Wishing you the best on your new position. I doubt we will find anyone else like you to fill your role in the company!
I hope you have the life you deserve.
You will never be missed.
dont let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Did you not learn anything from talladega nights? If you say “with all due respect” first you can say what you want. I.e with all due respect Greg you are an asshole and we hope you get nut cancer.
Write your message in super glue and slam that bad boy shut.
Does the departing colleague know they’re cruel, nasty, and mean?
Sign your name, move on.
“This place won’t be the same without you”
It’s simple, inoffensive enough, but you know what you mean…
Good bye rubber head so long boob!
*Na na na na*
*Na na na na*
*Hey hey hey*
*Goodbye*
Glad you are gone. Finally some space for actually intelligent people
You got them a card!?
Shit. You know deep down that it is.
“Glad you’re going, with you gone there will be enough room for a tribe of baboons on my back. May your next shit be a porcupine coming out backwards, and may your earholes turn into arseholes and shit all over your collar”
Alternatively, simply decline to sign it.
N’Sync put it best: BYE BYE BYE!
Good riddance.
When my previous manager left someone wrote “eat shit” sincerely everyone. He was grumpy throughout his farewell.
You should refer to what Bernadette wrote in her colleagues get well soon card.( Big Bang theory ref. For those who don’t know)
Glad to see you’re finally moving back home to Loserville
Once, I just signed my name and that’s it
Eat poo <3 (the other coworkers name you dislike)
Remember, the real test is whether the going away party is before or after they leave.
