Shamelessly posting here for traffic as I am drawing a blank here…

A colleague of mine is leaving today. They worked for the company quite a long time but towards the last few years they were taking the Micky by literally just doing the bare minimum and coasting through work.
I want to put something funny in the card. Not the usual message of we are sorry that you are leaving… they haven’t got a new job, starting their own business. Lovely person otherwise and we always had a good banter so I can put something different and funny in there 😄

"Sorry who are you?"

Can I have your stapler?

Mmm, I really wouldn’t if nothing appropriate is coming to you naturally!

I'll miss you, but only if I'm not aiming straight.

Hope your new Boss is a good one....

Time to finally relax

Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.

You’re dead to me.

I have big boobs and someone wrote "Thanks for the mammary" in mine.

I thought it was quite funny.

It was a long time ago but I'm not sure people would think that it was acceptable nowadays.

I took it in the fun it was meant to be.

"We'll struggle without you!" ?

SquirryTheSquirrel · 09/09/2021 10:46

Surely you need to base this on the 'banter' you were used to? You're only going to get generic quips from strangers online.

"Dear X.... it's going to be impossible to find someone to replace you. For the past few years, we've had absolutely no idea what you've been doing."

my favorite is "Good luck finding better colleagues than us!"
