This is what they get
What to write in a colleague’s retirement card
“Thirty-one years. Half the people here were hired by you, trained by you, or covered for by you. Enjoy the mornings.”
“You are the only person who knew why the old system did that, and you never once made anyone feel stupid for asking. Go and do nothing, loudly.”
“Congratulations. The department will keep going, worse, and we will all pretend that was the plan. Come back for the Christmas lunch.”
How it works
What they will see
- Pulls the bow on a kraft parcel addressed to them, and it comes undone.
- Reads the front page: their name in the headline, your words, your first photo.
- Scrolls the years, reads your letter and sends the reply coupon back.

Frequently asked questions
What do you write for someone who was here longer than you?
Write the part you saw. One year you worked together, one thing they taught you, one habit of theirs the place will keep. The timeline gives the long service its own row of dates, so your note does not have to carry the whole career.
Can other colleagues add to it?
Yes - send them the draft link and their notes land in the timeline before you send it. If you would rather everyone signed one shared board, the Warm Words Wall version is better suited than a timeline.
They are not very good with technology - will this work?
They tap a link, pull a paper bow, and scroll. No app, no account, no password. It works on a phone their grandchild set up two years ago. Free to build and preview; €3 to send.
