A retirement means a card going around the office, a leaving party and a few words we would like to get right. These messages, written by quotesay, say thank you without grandiloquence and wish the best for what comes next.
Heartfelt messages suit a group card or a personal note; funny messages liven up the speech at the leaving party. Add an office anecdote: that is what people will remember.

Heartfelt retirement messages
To thank a coworker, a manager or a parent.
Happy retirement! Thank you for all these years of work, advice and good humour. The office will never be quite the same without you.
You gave this team far more than your time: your example. Now enjoy every morning without an alarm clock, you have earned it.
Dad, after all these years of getting up early for us, it is your turn to take care of yourself. Happy retirement, and see you soon for long walks.
A page turns, and what a page! We wish you a gentle, curious retirement full of plans. Thank you for everything.
This is not a departure, it is a new freedom beginning. We wish you to fill it with everything you love.
Funny retirement messages
For the leaving party, with a smile.
Happy retirement! From now on, your only meetings will be with your couch, and they will always end on time.
Congratulations on your retirement! At last: Mondays without an alarm, Fridays without files, and colleagues who no longer borrow your charger.
Happy retirement! We will miss you, especially the day the coffee machine breaks down and nobody knows how to fix it.
Frequently asked questions
What do you say to a coworker who is retiring?
Thank them for what they brought (a skill, an atmosphere, an example), then wish them a good time. A precise anecdote beats a general formula.
How do I sign a group retirement card?
A short, sincere sentence followed by your first name. If the card is already full, “Thank you for everything, enjoy!” does the job very well.
