Witty comments for leaving cards

[Clark Nova]

Hmmm, I can never think of anything to put in leaving cards. Does anybody have any gems others than "best wishes" and the such? We have two people leaving this week so I need to think of something other than "byeeeee!" and "Thank God you're going!"

"I just wanted to say that, over the years, I have come to regard you as ... people I met."

happy birthday or merry christmas always makes me laugh (no sure about the recipient though)

In a similar vein to badga..

"I cant believe they didnt buy you a proper birthday card."

Or.. depending the work you do and if you are their senior in management.

"Ive got paperwork here for you."

Someone at one of old jobs stuck down 'Who are you?' on a leaving card as a dig at the fact that the person had been there a week, was a job shadower and to have a card with a collection was a bit cheeky.

I worked six months for a comms company and someone wrote on my card:

"Almost a pleasure working with you!"

I think Groucho Marx had the best one when he said "I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception"...... You could always adapt that one to suit the situation.

"George I never forget an ex-work colleague but......" Just make sure you never get to see 'em again

I worked six months for a comms company and someone wrote on my card:

"Almost a pleasure working with you!"

Or "It's been a pressure working with you!"

It's got to be personal.

Just think of one funny incident you shared with whoever's leaving and say something about it.

"the next time we meet the answers YES.....I would like fries with that"
or
"the first rule of jobclub is you do not talk about jobclub"
