Because apparently, we're essential.

Just not on payday.

A rugged, die-cut transparent sticker that wears its attitude proudly. Weathered diamond plating and bold stencil lettering read “UNDERPAID ESSENTIAL WORKER,” a raw, honest decal that sticks to glass, metal, and smooth surfaces. The matte finish keeps glare low while the scratch- and water-resistant film holds up through daily wear. Place it on laptops, water bottles (smooth only), toolboxes, or workplace windows to quietly call out the grind and spark knowing nods from fellow workers.

This sticker fits into the life of someone who shows up, does the job, and doesn’t shy from calling out the injustice with a bit of dry humor. It looks right at home on a commuter mug, a bus-window panel, or the break room door—small rebellion that’s built to last and won’t fade after a few shifts in the sun.
