It's a Manager Thing You Wouldn't Understand
One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
Name the right job
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a manager will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
One design for this job so far. Check the wording matches the title they actually use before buying.
Who it is for
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
The meetings are the job now
The promotion moves someone away from the work they were good at and into scheduling, budgets and other people’s problems. Every new manager discovers this.
The best part is the same as the worst part: everything runs through you.
Nobody is trained for it, and almost everyone says so.
Sizing and ordering
- Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
- Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
- Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.
If it is not quite the right job
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Master Plumber, Mechanic and Med Surg Nurse each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
