Tip: if you’re going to send a farewell email, don’t do the one where you try to name everyone with an individual thank you.

You’re bound to miss someone unless you name everyone, but then you have to be really creative and not make someone else feel less important than the other people you mentioned.

If you cared that much, you’d already be friends with those people to the point where an elaborate goodbye would be silly because you’re going to see each other later to hang outside of work.

Nah, you have to do that so everyone else feels left out.

I haven’t. Been in this industry 20 years and none of my outside friends are people I met from work.

I’ve a different perspective, though obviously there’s no one right way to do it.
If you’ve been let go, you probably don’t have a chance to say individual goodbyes and appreciations. So I think it’s totally fine for your email to be whatever you want it to be (except dumb…that’s just dumb).

Oh, I don’t think you name anyone specifically. Just make vague references (“you know who you are”) and hint at borderline libelous accusations (“three words: holiday. party. hands.”) that people will either assume are about them or have suspicions about who is being referenced. Leave chaos in your wake as they all try to figure it out.

If you cared that much you'd send gifts

Goodbyes are not forever; they simply mean I'll miss you until we meet again!
It was a good/unforgettable run/ride/experience.

Add me to your address book... LinkedIn profile & personal email address.
Voilà 😉

So you miss someone. What's the big deal?

Do any of these names ring a bell to you, and which ones would be the coolest for a signed helmet/jersey?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
