The Bad Boss Collection

What is the Bad Boss Collection?

The Bad Boss Collection is a set of mugs, hoodies, and cards for anyone whose manager has turned work into a hostage situation. These gifts acknowledge what everyone's thinking but no one's saying: some meetings could have been emails, some emails could have been nothing, and some bosses should have been individual contributors forever.

This collection exists for the gap between professional courtesy and professional honesty. For people who've mastered the art of looking engaged during pointless presentations. For anyone who's ever wanted to respond to "we're a family here" with "families don't make you reapply for your bedroom every year."

What's in the Bad Boss Collection?

Mugs, hoodies, t-shirts, and greeting cards covering the full spectrum of workplace dysfunction. The "This Meeting Is A Hostage Situation" mug ($25) is the bestseller — perfect for Zoom calls where you're visible but spiritually absent. "Ask Me Again and See What Happens" works for both mugs and t-shirts when your patience has reached measurable limits.

Other designs include "Circle Back to Never," "Bcc This" (for the subtle rebels), and "Not My Circus. Definitely Not My Monkeys" for comprehensive workplace boundary setting. All items ship within 7-14 business days and are dishwasher safe — unlike your work environment.

Who is the Bad Boss Collection for?

Anyone who's discovered that "work-life balance" means working from home in comfortable clothes. Teams who've developed their own internal language for workplace absurdity. Gift-buyers looking for something that says "I see you surviving this" without saying "I'm sorry for your loss" — because that would be too honest for HR.

The collection works for office white elephant parties, remote worker self-care, and solidarity gifts between colleagues who've learned to communicate through meaningful eye contact during video calls.

Why does workplace humor matter?

Because laughing at the absurdity is often the only thing standing between you and a breakdown in the supply closet. Because recognizing dysfunction is the first step toward not internalizing it. Because Blunt believes work should be challenging, not soul-crushing, and sometimes pointing that out with a mug is the most professional way to maintain your sanity.
