Before you hit send, the rest is ready too.
Short farewell messages, one or two lines each.

What makes a goodbye people remember.
- 01
Say thank you for something real
"Thanks for getting me through my first on-call week" beats "thanks for everything". One specific memory is worth a paragraph of adjectives.
- 02
Keep it about the good parts
A farewell isn't the place for why you're leaving or what should change. People remember the tone of the last message.
- 03
Say who takes over
One line with who picks up your work saves a week of "who do I ask now?" messages after you're gone.
- 04
Leave a way to stay in touch
A personal email or LinkedIn at the end. Work addresses stop working the day after.
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's a short goodbye message to coworkers?
"Today's my last day! Thank you all for everything. I'll miss you." Add your personal email if you'd like to keep in touch.
What's a short message for a coworker who's leaving?
"We'll miss you! Good luck with what's next." or "Thanks for everything. Keep in touch!" Perfect for a group card.
Is a short goodbye rude?
Not at all. Most people read goodbyes on their phone between other messages. Short and warm beats long and generic.
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.
