What is an online farewell card?

An online farewell card (also known in the UK as a leaving card or virtual leaving card) is a shared digital card that a group signs from one link when someone is leaving a job. It replaces physical cards passed around the office and allows colleagues to add messages, photos and GIFs from anywhere in the world.

What to write in a leaving card

Here are example messages you can use in a leaving card for a colleague, manager, or friend leaving work.

Heartfelt

  • Working alongside you has been one of the best parts of this job. Wishing you everything brilliant in what comes next.
  • You made the hard days easier and the good days better. We're going to miss you more than you know.
  • Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and every bit of wisdom you shared. Go and be wonderful.

Funny

  • Who am I supposed to blame for everything now that you're leaving? Outrageous. Good luck though.
  • We'd say the place won't be the same without you, but honestly we're just worried about who'll fix the printer.
  • Leaving us for a better offer? Bold. Respect. Don't forget us when you're famous.

From a manager

  • It's been a genuine pleasure having you on the team. Your contribution hasn't gone unnoticed, and you leave with our thanks and our very best wishes.
  • Thank you for everything you've brought to this team. We're sorry to see you go and excited for what's ahead of you.

Short and sweet

  • Onwards and upwards, you've earned it!
  • Not goodbye, just see you later.
  • Go get 'em. We're rooting for you.
