Good-bye You Were Pretty Card for a Departing Coworker

Good-bye You Were Pretty Card shows a bold GOOD-BYE and a red line teasing the reader about their job, and the cheeky wording makes the farewell feel like an inside joke. The words tease a departing coworker in a way only close colleagues would laugh at, and the joke tells them they will be missed. It works for anyone whose office friend is heading out the door.

The design in detail

The headline GOOD-BYE sits across the top in thick black capitals, and it is the first thing you read. Beneath it, a red line in capital letters delivers the joke, with each word stacked neatly so the sentence reads top to bottom. The contrast between the black and the red makes the teasing stand out without shouting.

A hand-drawn stick figure fills the lower part of the card. Its round head carries a wide smile, and both arms are raised with a peace sign formed by each hand. The figure stands on two simple legs, and its cheerful pose turns the sarcasm into a friendly wave goodbye.

The lettering and the loose line drawing give the card a casual, doodled feel. Everything is kept simple, so the humor comes through immediately. The overall picture is of a happy little figure cheerfully saying goodbye to a job well, or not so well, done.

When it gets used

Colleagues tend to notice the bold GOOD-BYE first, then smile at the red line and the grinning figure. The card tells the reader that you enjoyed working alongside them, even if you poke fun at the job they did. That mix of ribbing and warmth is exactly what a close work friend expects.

You might sign this good-bye card on a colleague's final afternoon, slip it into a desk drawer before they clear it out, or pass it around a team that has spent years together. It is equally fitting when a long-serving coworker finally heads into retirement and the office wants to send them off with a laugh.

Good occasions

The last day at a job is the obvious moment, when a team gathers to say goodbye and everyone wants a quick laugh. A retirement party or a farewell lunch is another natural setting, especially when the person leaving has been part of the office for years.

The card is available as a greeting card in its natural colorway, so it suits any send-off from a formal leaving party to a quiet goodbye at a desk.
