For those looking to add a dash of humor to their farewell emails, here are some of the most epic and funny examples:
Chris Kula's Email
This is often cited as one of the funniest farewell emails. Chris Kula, a comedy writer, wrote a humorous and slightly sarcastic email to his coworkers. Here are some excerpts:
- He addresses specific coworkers with humorous anecdotes, such as reminding Rudy about labeled lunch, Steven about his flatulence, Eileen about her email forwards, and Felix about the copier issues45.
- The email includes witty remarks and sarcastic advice, like telling the next person in his position to "cherish this experience like a sponge and soak it up like a good woman, because a job opportunity like this comes along only once in a lifetime. Meaning: if I had to work here again in this lifetime, I would sooner kill myself."45.
