Farewell for Coworker Card shows YOU'RE, then a red line striking through ESCAPING, with LEAVING! printed underneath. The crossed-out word turns the joke into the true message, so it lands the moment a coworker reads it. It was made for the colleague heading out the door and the team left behind to wave them off.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
What is printed on it
The card is dominated by three large black lines of text set in a rounded, hand-lettered style. YOU'RE sits across the top, and the middle word ESCAPING is struck through by a bold red stroke that cuts diagonally across the letters. Below it, LEAVING! closes the message with its exclamation mark. The red line is the only color on the front, so it pulls the eye straight to the joke. The cream background keeps the lettering crisp and easy to read from across a desk. Every element is simple, which lets the words do all the work. The effect reads like a quick edit made by someone who has been waiting to say something honest for months.
Made for these people
The card is made for the coworker who is about to walk out the door for good. Teammates will notice the strike-through first and smile before they finish reading. It fits the moment when a team is gathering for a last lunch, a farewell cake in the break room, or a final round of goodbyes at the end of a long project. You can slip it into a pile of signed cards and know that its humor will stand out. It also works for the manager writing a note to someone who has been part of the group for years.
A gift idea that fits
This card works best as a companion to a small parting gift, such as a favorite snack, a plant for a new desk, or a coffee mug for the next job. Hand it over on the final afternoon so the joke lands while everyone is still together. Let the coworker read it first, then watch the room laugh as they realize the word ESCAPING has been crossed out for a reason.
- What does the strike-through joke mean?
- The red line crosses out the word ESCAPING, so the true message reads LEAVING! It suggests your coworker is not sneaking away but simply moving on, which is a playful way to say goodbye. The contrast between the crossed-out word and the bold new one is the whole joke, and it works without any extra explanation.
- Who will get the most out of this card?
- This card suits a colleague who is heading to a new job, retiring, or relocating, and the people who will miss them. Anyone who shared daily meetings, shared jokes, or a long project will recognize the moment. It also works well for a manager who wants a lighthearted way to say goodbye to someone the whole team respects.
- How can you pair it with a going-away gift?
- Give the card with a small gift such as a snack box, a desk plant, or a coffee mug for the next office. Hand it over on the last afternoon so the joke lands while everyone is gathered. The strike-through on ESCAPING sets a cheerful tone that makes any simple present feel thoughtful and fun.
