Desk Job: Liz Furze
A desk can tell you a lot about a person, and these are the stories of our favorites. (Desks, that is. And also people.)
Liz Furze, Customer Experience (CX) Lead
Sarcastic Ball
“I inherited the Sarcastic Ball from another teammate at some point, and it’s been on my desk ever since. It’s great for keeping myself in check—whenever I need to be knocked down a peg, it’s there to sass me with a ‘Whatever’ or an ‘In Your Dreams.’”
Cat Card
“I manage a team of six associates in our CX department. I spent a few days in the hospital over the winter, and when I came back, my amazing team had this card and a bag of my favorite candy waiting for me. The cat now serves as my desk guardian and general harbinger of goodwill.”
Books
“Right now, I’m reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’ve been on a big sci-fi kick recently. I like keeping physical books around—I love how they smell, how the pages of a book feel in my hands. I don’t think I understand the eReader obsession.”
Dave Gilboa’s cup
“Drinking out of the CEO‘s cup may be considered a bold move. I see it as maximizing my potential for absorbing greatness…through cup osmosis.”
