Farewell to a colleague
A farewell song for the coworker who's moving on
They've handed in their notice, done the handover and emptied a drawer full of sugar packets hoarded over three years. From Monday that desk will be empty and the team chat a little quieter. Instead of the usual card passed round the office with twelve signatures and a “good luck”, the team can send them off with a song that's really about that person, their habits and the stories only you share.
The in-jokes are the best material: the printer that only jammed on their watch, the mic left on during calls, the Friday lunch. Tell us about them and the lyrics turn them into rhymes, teasing or affectionate, as you prefer. You read the lyrics before the music, tweak them, listen to the free preview and play it at the leaving drinks, in front of the whole team.

What to tell us about your colleague
- The jokes only your office gets: the mistake that became legend, the impossible client, the reply-all that went to the wrong people.
- Their role on the team: the fixer, the one who brings cake, the one who always knows where the supply closet key is.
- Where they're heading: a new company, another city, a project of their own. The song can cheer them on.
- How long you worked together and a moment that bonded you: the impossible deadline, the office move.
