Cheers to your fresh start. We'll talk about you fondly for at least a week β possibly two, if you reply to messages.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up β copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Congratulations β and on behalf of the project nobody's volunteered to inherit yet, thanks for nothing. Joking. Mostly.
Wishing you onboarding that doesn't involve three hours of compliance videos played silently in a meeting room nobody booked.
You leave behind a high bar, a half-empty desk drawer, and one mug we genuinely can't tell if you wanted back.
Best of luck β may the new colleagues catch on quickly that you're the quiet competent one worth asking before deciding.
Congratulations on escaping the inbox you helped build. Whoever inherits it will eventually appreciate how well you kept it tidy.

To the coworker we'll keep texting questions to long after you've started somewhere else β please be patient with us.
Wishing you a new chapter that makes the old one feel like the warm-up it secretly was. You're ready for this.
Cheers to leaving on great terms, which around here is the rarest career achievement of all. Genuinely well done.
Congratulations β may the new building have working air conditioning, a kitchen worth visiting, and at least one window.
You're going to bring the same energy you brought to every Tuesday meeting β slightly understated, completely indispensable. Lucky them.
Wishing you a workplace that values the qualities we took for granted. Specifically, the ones we should've thanked you for more often.
To our soon-to-be-former colleague β go raise the bar somewhere new. We'll keep waving from the slightly emptier kitchen.
Congratulations from all of us β go be brilliant there. We're going to keep working hard. Mostly. Eventually. By Wednesday.
You're leaving for somewhere better, and we're staying here pretending we're not slightly jealous about it. Good luck.
To the colleague who handled the resignation conversation with more grace than the rest of us could've managed β go win.
Wishing you a soft landing somewhere the management remembers you're a person before you're a productivity metric.
The team won't be the same without you β which is exactly the right kind of compliment for someone leaving.
Best of luck β may the new place be everything this one almost was, plus a few of the things it wasn't.
Cheers to leaving for the right reasons and arriving with the right energy. You've earned both halves of this transition.
You're not running away β you're walking toward something that fits. Quiet dignity in the timing. Wishing you the rest.
Hope the new role lets you do the work you've been wanting to do, not the work you've been good at doing.
To the leaver: may the new colleagues catch your sense of humour faster than we did. Some of us still don't.
Wishing you a final two weeks that go smoothly and a first two weeks that go even better than that.
Best of luck β may you find yourself reminiscing about us occasionally, but never regretting the decision. That's the sweet spot.
