Funny Leaving Card Messages for Colleagues

What do you write in a funny leaving card for a colleague? Choose a joke that fits your relationship, keep it workplace-friendly and finish with a sincere good-luck line. A gentle dig about meetings, coffee or office gossip usually lands better than anything too personal.

Once you have picked a message, browse leaving card designs and invite the team to add their own farewells.
