Funny New Job Card: Dead to Us, Congrats Inside

Funny New Job Card shows a bold “YOU’RE DEAD TO US!” over a cartoon tombstone, and the smaller line “WE MEAN… CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEW JOB!” turns the gag into a warm wish. It is a playful way to tell someone you will miss them and are glad they moved on, and it suits anyone who laughs at a dark joke.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

A closer look at the print

A plain white tombstone sits in the middle of the card, its top edge slightly chipped and the letters R.I.P. carved into the front in a rough hand. Clumps of green grass and small clover leaves grow around its base, and a wooden-handled shovel leans against it on the right side. The large headline above is set in thick black capitals with a rounded, friendly shape, which keeps the grim image from feeling harsh. Below the picture, the smaller text sits in the same capitals, so the eye moves from the joke down to the punchline without a break. The drawing is simple and cartoonish, with soft shading and no gore, so the whole scene reads as a silly gag rather than anything morbid. Together the grave, the shovel and the bold words build a single picture of an office joke that ends on good news.

Who will love it

The card suits coworkers, team leads and close friends who share a dry sense of humor. Someone who has spent years at the same desk will recognize the moment when a colleague finally announces a new role and the whole floor wants to tease them. A friend who has been job hunting for months may laugh hardest at the idea of being “dead to us” while the team secretly cheers. You can also slip it into a card for someone switching careers, moving to a bigger company, or leaving a job they never liked. It reads best to people who can handle a joke that starts dark and finishes sweet.

Occasions and picks

Use this card for a farewell lunch, a last-day send-off, or the week a teammate announces a new position. It also fits a new-hire welcome when the joke is about the old workplace losing someone, or a promotion that moves a friend onto a different team. Pair it with a small treat such as coffee or a snack for the new desk. The card comes in one natural colorway and in the greeting card style, so it stays easy to choose and sits neatly with other office gifts.
