HR can't touch you for hating your job. Everyone hates their job.
For offices where chaos is actively encouraged? Go bigger. The Call Me The Third Little Piggy Hoodie (BACKPRINT) from Unethical Threads is a full backprint hoodie that will absolutely turn heads in the break room. Someone will spit out their coffee reading the back. That's the goal. That's always the goal.
