Your last day, in the right order.
- 01
Morning: send the goodbye
Post it before lunch so people can reply, and you can read the replies before you hand back your laptop.
- 02
Afternoon: hand over
A short handover doc and one message to whoever takes over beat a week of questions to your old address.
- 03
Before you log off: auto-reply
Set an out-of-office that says who to contact now, and a status that says it's your last day.

Questions
What do you say on your last day at work?
Thank people, say what you'll miss, tell them who's taking over your work, and share a personal email or LinkedIn. "Today is my last day. Thank you for the help, the patience and all the laughs."
What should a last day at work email subject be?
Plain and warm: "Goodbye, and thank you" or "My last day at [Company]". People should know what it is before they open it.
Should I tell clients I'm leaving?
Yes, ideally with your manager's OK and before your last week. Tell them your last day and introduce their new contact by name so nothing is dropped. Choose Clients in the generator.
What should my status say on my last day?
That it's your last day and how to reach you: "๐ Last day at Acme! Keep in touch: jordan@hey.com". The generator writes one under 100 characters for Slack.
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.
