Losing your job sucks anytime, so with the credit crunch upon us, how do you cheer up friends who are rapidly getting laid off work?
You buy them a lovely sympathy card expressing your most sincere condolences for their loss. Perhaps they didn’t exactly have the greatest career anyway, perhaps it was time for that change, perhaps this is a real blessing in disguise.
These hilarious RIP JOB cards are sold at Etsy, come hand cut and folded with a blank spot inside for your own message and delivered with a matching white envelope.
Now hold your horses - you can also customize the color of the cards by choosing one from the chart in the photos above. Top class!
