The farewell roast

September 19, 2026Read-only record · Player replies are not displayed
Situation

I’m moving to another team, and a coworker is teasing me in my farewell Slack thread. My manager and new team can see it too.

Task

Brainstorm a better response than the Claude suggestion.

Coworker

happy for you!! does the new team know you’re a camera-off personality hire

Claude suggestion

"Correct — mysterious, camera-off, and still somehow carrying more meetings than you 😌 new team, you're welcome."

Response is from Claude
Original editorial analysis

“Carrying more meetings than you” turns the camera joke into a public comparison of work contributions in front of both teams.

Lesson

A comeback can return the tease without making a colleague’s competence the punchline.
