WRITING LEAVING CARDS
Things to write in Leaving cardsAaah, we've all been there - as the leaving card is passed on to our desk and we are expected to write something different than we wrote on the last leaving card. Maybe we know the person well enough to have an in joke or two to rely on - maybe we don't know them that well, but we still want them to read our note to them with a smile and a fond memory of us.Some people give up and write something like "Sorry you are leaving, good luck in your new job, John xxx" but you know - for me that just does not cut it. To have nothing to say is a desperate state of affairs - so here are a few ideas for inspiration. 1. Print yourself a load of leaving card stickersEach one contains a list of messages with check boxes next to them.I will miss your [ ]......flamboyant dress sense [ ]......nose for good gossip [ ]......tasteless underwear [ ]......slightly perverted sense of humour [ ]......ability to talk for ages without breathing in then you just have to slap the sticker on any leaving cards that come your way and put a cross next to the message that suits. 2. Use bullet points to express what you think about the person who is leavingfor example:I have examined you now for x years and here are my findings You:-
but... most of all I have discovered that you are a quitter 3. Describe the place they are moving to in extreme terms of the place that you work atfor example if you work in a place with a controlling boss, strict dress codes and a sexy water delivery man. Write something like: I've been speaking to someone at your new work and apparently the boss has a remote control helicoptor with a spy camera, friday dress down involves compulsory corsets and white wigs and the water delivery boy is Brad Pitt - so you should feel at home pretty quickly.Basically come up with an idea for a format and add your own jokes - nothing simpler. |
