Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

I asked for a raise not a robot, and the budget that could not stretch to cost of living somehow found seven figures for a platform license, and the workload came back heavier with a tool attached, and the employee in the tee has both memos in the same folder. Everyone can see where the money went. This tee puts it on the record.

Wear it to the compensation meeting, the union drive, the all-hands where the license gets announced, the budget town hall, and the family dinner where a relative says at least you have a job. It is a sharp gift for an employee with both memos, a union steward, a budget analyst, and the friend who asked for the raise.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a compensation meeting. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the two-memos entry on our anti-AI movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Fabric and fit

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
