We Gave Card to Say Goodbye to a Coworker Who Is Leaving

We Gave Card shows the bold line “We gave you this card to remind you how mean you are for deserting us,” and the printed words turn a goodbye into a playful tease. The joke says the coworker leaving is being mean by going, so the card lets everyone laugh about the departure. It makes a lighthearted way to say you will miss them, and it fits anyone whose desk is about to go quiet.

What is printed on it

The main subject is the large block of bold black lettering set in the center of a cream card. The words stack in tight lines, with the phrase “how mean” set larger than the rest so the eye lands on it first. The line DESERTING US sits in red at the bottom, giving the card a single bright accent.

At the lower left, a small line-drawn cardboard box holds a few items and carries a tiny red heart on its side. At the lower right, a potted plant with long leaves stands on thin legs. A dashed red paper plane flies across the top corner, trailing a loose path that suggests someone heading off on a new adventure.

The lettering and the drawings share one simple, sketchy style. Together they tell the story of packing up a desk and setting off for somewhere new, all in a few bold strokes.

Made for these people

The people who will notice this card first are the teammates who will be left behind. They read the bold printed words and grin at the tease before they reach the small drawings.

The exact phrase We Gave Card fits a farewell where the office wants to keep the mood light. Teammates sign it at a going away lunch, or a manager slips it onto the leaver’s desk on the final afternoon.

It also suits friends who work together and want a card that keeps the mood playful. Passing it around the team gives everyone a chance to add a line and send the coworker off with a laugh.

A gift idea that fits

This card is a natural fit for a farewell moment at work, when the team gathers to say goodbye. Hand it over with a small treat, a coffee or a sweet snack, and let the joke set the tone for the send-off.

It also works as a keepsake the leaver can tuck into a box on their way out. Years later, the bold line will still bring a smile back to the desk they left behind.
