The farewell card, done right.
- 01
Start it early
A card that goes round on the last morning gets five names. Start it a few days before so remote people can sign too.
- 02
One line each
On a group card, a short note in everyone's own words beats a long one. Inside jokes welcome.
- 03
Post it, then print it
Share the picture in the team channel on their last day, and print one if you're in the office.
For team leads
Someone's leaving? See who covers their work.
Forgot puts everyone's time off, who covers for whom and your release dates on one calendar, so nothing falls through the week someone leaves.
- Send one link and your team adds their days off, no sign-up for them
- Public holidays for every office, so a day off in London doesn't surprise New York
- Who covers whom, right on the bar

Questions
What do you write to a coworker who is leaving?
Thank them for something specific, say you'll miss working with them, and wish them luck: "Thank you for always having my back. It won't be the same without you. Good luck with what's next!"
What do you write in a farewell card for a coworker?
A line or two and your name. Warm: "So grateful I got to work with you." Funny: "I'm keeping your stapler." Professional: "Best of luck in your new role."
How do I announce that a coworker is leaving?
Share their last day, a line of thanks, what's next for them if they're happy to share it, and who takes over their work. Choose Announce it in the generator to get one written.
Can the whole team sign the card?
Yes. Switch to Card, then add a name and a short note for each person, up to eight. Each signature gets its own pen color, like a real card going round the office. Add their photo and your logo, then download it as a picture to post or print.
Is anything I type saved or sent?
No. The messages are written by hand and filled in in your browser. Your own name and company are remembered on this device so next time is quicker. Names, photos and signatures for the card never leave your browser.
