Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in these Retirement messages?
Short send-offs thanking someone for years of work and wishing them well in what comes next — mixing gratitude for the past with excitement about their new freedom.
Why send a retirement message rather than just a card?
A personal note lets you thank someone for their specific contribution rather than a generic printed sentiment, and it's quick to send alongside a card or gift. For a longer version to read aloud, see Speeches.
What's a specific idea these messages return to?
Several frame retirement as trading a schedule for freedom, like getting to trade 'early alarms for whatever adventures you've been dreaming about.' The Wishes page covers the same idea in a slightly different format.
