New Job Congratulations Messages for a Coworker Who's Leaving (and Others)
Congratulations messages for a coworker's new job: for someone leaving for a new role, an internal move, a career change, or a friend starting somewhere new.
When a colleague leaves for a new job, the card does two things: says goodbye and says well done. Lead with the second. Here’s wording for moves out, moves up, and changes of direction.
