Signing Leaving Cards

    We've had quite a few people being made redundant in to my company over the last couple of months and so there’s been a lot of leaving cards going around. I like to leave a funny message rather then the standard “good luck in your new job” etc… but am starting to suffer writers block. In the last one to a guy I knew reasonably well I wrote:

    “SEE! I told you shagging the boss always ends badly!”


    Anyone got any Ideas or ones they’ve used in the past?

    "Glad to see you go, always thought you were a c*nt"

    We got on quite well together so I'm pretty sure they knew I was kiddin.

    Are you talking about a particular person, or something to write on them all?

    Did you actually have anytime for them?

    I avoid leaving cards unless I know the person well. Its a bit stupid tbh signing them unless you knew them / had time for them.

    I was working for a place before that may as well have had a turnstile at the door. It does get annoying.

    I've written "wurzle wurzle" on one before.

    Turnstile FTW

    There’s a few different people who will be leaving over the next month or so. Some I know well others not so well, but still well enough that I should sign their card.

    just leave two bloody thumb prints on the card. Draw two unhappy faces in them. :mad: <- like that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 699 ✭✭✭ball ox


    "get well soon"
    its more effective on a birthday card though

    I always find this works:

    "Best of luck with the gender re-assignment, you always
    said you had the balls to go through with the operation.
    I suppose we'll have to get used to calling you Amanda
    in the future".

    Use a humerous pun like when Homer left the bowling alley. 'Sorry you had to split'
    would also work if you were a gymnast. Are you a gymnast?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,584 ✭✭✭✭Steve


    "so long and thanks for all the fish"

    "good luck in your next job, hope they're more tolerant of B.O."

    "you got fired:p"

    "sorry for blaming you for all that stuff last week - hope you understand"

    "Cool, can I have your stapler and hole punch now"

    If they've worked there for a long time just write how funny it is that you were only a baby when they started. This works even if you are older than them, as it makes them feel worse that the office elder is in fact younger.

    Or just write 'Glad it's not me!' That always goes down well when someone has been made redundant.

    P.S., don't leave.
