Congratulations on the new role — the team's loss is well-disguised as the team's pride. We'll miss the daily proximity.
Coworkers New Job Wishes
A page of inspiring wishes and advice to send to coworkers starting a new job or transitioning to a new field.
Coworker today, ex-coworker tomorrow, friend by Friday. The good news travels faster than the offboarding checklist.
Wishing you the kind of new colleagues who appreciate your jokes about as quickly as we did — which took a while.
The office gets quieter when you leave. Whoever sits at that desk next has unreasonable expectations to live up to.
Cheers to the next chapter — may the new team get the version of you we trained, polished, and now sadly release.
You're trading our broken coffee machine for theirs. Apart from that, may every upgrade be substantial. Good luck.
Congratulations from the team you're abandoning. We're holding your absence at the standup like a small empty chair.
Wishing you a smoother onboarding than the one we all secretly endured. May the IT tickets resolve themselves quickly.
You're going to be brilliant there — same as you were here, just with better lighting and probably less office drama.
Goodbye colleague, hello future-collaborator. We expect referrals, reunion lunches, and at least one decent piece of gossip per quarter.
To the desk that won't be the same — congratulations to the human moving on to something the work here couldn't offer.
The new place doesn't know how lucky they got. Give them a few weeks. They'll figure it out — like we did.
Best of luck — may your new colleagues recognise your strengths faster than this place did. Set the bar low, frankly.
Cheers to the coworker who became the person the team can't stop quoting. Hope your new team learns the references.
Congratulations on the move. Promise you won't fully disappear — the group chat needs a reason to keep existing.
You're going to make that new role yours within a month. We're betting on it. We've been right about you so far.
Wishing you the rare gift of a new manager who reads emails fully and actually means it when they say my door is open.
To our former coworker — may the new place pay you accurately, promote you promptly, and feed you better at meetings.
Cheers to your fresh start. We'll talk about you fondly for at least a week — possibly two, if you reply to messages.
Congratulations — 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 — 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 — please be patient with us.
