Questions
What do you write in a retirement card for a colleague?
A colleague retiring deserves a proper send-off. Thank them for the years of working alongside you, then wish them well for the freedom ahead. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.
How long should a retirement message be?
One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
