Carry This Briefcase, and Your Boss Will Finally Learn Your Name

You’ve been at your new job for a couple months now. Kept your head down, done good work, made some friends — generally speaking, you’re pretty happy there. Only problem is, your boss still has no idea who you are.

Every once in awhile, he strolls over from his office to ask you to file some report or another, and you go through the same song and dance: “Er…Jackson,” he’ll say. “No, sorry…it’s Johnson, right?” And then you’re forced to explain that Jackson is the guy with the ponytail at the end of the hall, and Johnson is actually the guy he hired you to replace.

That’s a real bummer. But don’t fret, because we’ve got just the thing to solve your employer-induced identity crisis.

Frank Clegg Small Lawyer's Briefcase

Handmade to order in Massachusetts from the hardiest of leathers, this briefcase from Frank Clegg Leatherworks makes an immediate and lasting impression.

The day you stroll into work holding it confidently at your side will be the same day your goldfish-minded boss finally looks up at you and thinks to himself, “By George, now there’s a young man with direction.”

And he’ll never call you by another name ever again.
