They're leaving. You're jealous. Make sure they remember you fondly. The perfect desk plates for the line cooks in your life.
Why Desk Plates for Line Cooks
Line cooking is the backbone of every restaurant. You're underpaid, overheated, and somehow still proud of every plate.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
About Farewell Gifts
When a coworker leaves, it's bittersweet. You're losing someone who understood the specific brand of dysfunction at your workplace, but you're also watching them escape. A farewell gift should capture that weird mix of 'we'll miss you' and 'take us with you.' Whether they're moving to something better or just moving on, they deserve a sendoff that's more memorable than a sheet cake and awkward standing around in the kitchen.
