Starting New Job Card: Your Colleagues Are Rubbish

Starting New Job Card shows YOUR NEW COLLEAGUES WILL BE RUBBISH COMPARED TO US! in heavy black capitals, and the line says it with a grin. It is a cheeky send-off for anyone whose team is about to lose a valued member, and it lands best between people who joke with each other every day.

What the print says

The main subject is the lettering itself, set in four stacked lines across a plain white face. YOUR NEW COLLEAGUES WILL BE sits in smaller type above, while the word RUBBISH is printed largest in the middle, so the eye lands on the insult first. COMPARED TO US! closes the message with an exclamation mark that adds to the cheek. Below the words, a simple black smiley winks with one eye and curls into a wide grin, which turns the line into a friendly tease rather than a real complaint. The lettering is clean and sans serif, giving the card a modern, uncluttered look that suits an office setting. The whole design is built around the contrast between the blunt words and the cheerful face, and it reads as a joke that the sender and receiver both share.

Who sees themselves in it

The people who notice this card first are usually the team left behind, the ones who trained the leaver and will miss their humor. Starting Job Card speaks directly to a colleague who is heading into a new role and about to find out that the old office was the best. Someone who has spent years swapping jokes at the coffee machine will recognize the teasing in that single bold word. It also fits a manager writing a farewell, a friend who works in the same building, or anyone who wants to say you were the best without getting sentimental. Most often it is picked up for the last week in the office, when the goodbye needs to be warm but a little bit silly.

Meant as a gift

This card works well as a leaving present from a team, signed by everyone who will miss the leaver. It also suits a going-away lunch or a last-day handover, when the card can be opened in front of the group. The natural style keeps it simple enough to sit on a desk or be tucked into a bag for the commute. Passing it across on the final afternoon gives the leaver a laugh before they walk out the door.
