Gifts for Your Work Bestie - Desk Plates for Sysadmins
You keep everything running and only get noticed when something breaks. You're the reason the internet works and nobody understands what you do.
Why This Works
Sysadmin life is invisible when you're succeeding and blamed when anything fails. You're on-call for problems you didn't create. These stickers get the ops life.
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.
