The 22-year-old explained he had been working at the firm for almost a year and was handing in his notice as he is heading back to university this September.
He told how he was part of a ‘really close team’, with a ‘fantastic’ manager, and wanted to ‘get one more joke in’ before he left the firm.
The card had the Twittersphere in stitches, with one person commenting ‘wish I would’ve thought of this’ and others sharing the witty ways they and their workmates had broken the news of their departure.
Hannah, Sam’s colleague who Tweeted about the card, explained ‘we all just stood and laughed when it was presented to our manager’.
