A farewell card for a coworker, signed by the whole team

Someone is leaving, and the card going around the office never reaches everyone in time. Share one link instead. Teammates on every floor and in every time zone add a message, a memory or an award, and the card opens on their last day with paper planes and a cat holding a tiny suitcase.

You taught me half of what I know about this job and all of what I know about the printer. Thank you.

what to write

What to write in a farewell card for a coworker

Pick one memory or one thing they did for you. That beats a page of good-luck wishes.

You were the first person to say good morning to me here, and you kept doing it for three years. The new place is lucky.

I will miss our walks to get coffee more than I will miss most meetings. Please send the new office's coffee rating.

Thank you for every time you said "let me take a look" and then actually fixed it. Go do great things.

Your onboarding doc is still the one we give every new hire. You will be in this office long after you leave it.

Working with you made hard weeks feel shorter. Keep in touch, and I mean that, not the polite version.

Nobody runs a retro like you. The sticky notes will never be as colorful again.

Good luck in the new role. Remember us when you are hiring.

You leave behind a very organized shared drive and a very sad lunch group. Thank you for both.

three tips

Three tips for organizing a farewell card

TIP 1

Start the card the day you hear the news

Farewells move fast. Create the card as soon as the leaving date is set, and share the link before the goodbye email goes out so it reaches people first.

TIP 2

Collect for a week, send on the last morning

Give people five working days, then send the card so it opens on their last day. Anyone who missed the window can add a late note, which arrives stamped LATE.

TIP 3

Share it beyond the immediate team

Post the link in cross-team channels too. Former teammates, other departments and even clients often have the memories nobody else does, and they rarely get asked.

how it works

How a farewell card works here

STEP 1

Start the farewell card

Pick Farewell, add their name and the date of their last day, and choose when it should open.

STEP 2

The whole office signs

Share one link with everyone who worked with them. People write a memory, pick a sticker, pin an award or draw a doodle.

STEP 3

It opens on their last day

They tap the envelope, paper planes fly across the screen, and every message arrives one by one.

questions

Farewell card questions

Can people keep signing after their last day?

Yes. The signing link keeps working after the card opens. Late messages arrive on the card stamped LATE, with a small comment from the cat, so no one is left out.

What if they have already lost access to their work email?

The card is a normal web link, so it works from any phone or personal email address. Send the recipient link by text or personal email after their last day.

Can I include people from other teams and former coworkers?

Yes. Anyone with the signing link can add a message, and signers do not need an account. Share it wherever those people are, including outside the company.

Can the organizer remove a message?

Yes. As the organizer you get a private link where you can see every message and remove any of them before the card is sent. Signers can remove their own message too.

How long does the farewell card stay online?

Sent cards stay up for 12 months after they open, then they are deleted automatically. Your coworker has a year to come back and reread it.
