- Your coworker's personality: Choose a quote that reflects their personality and sense of humor.
- Your workplace culture: Make sure the quote is appropriate for your workplace environment.
- Your relationship with your coworker: Choose a quote that reflects your relationship with the person. A more intimate joke is fine for close friends, but for a more distant coworker, a generic farewell is better.
