Corporate Burnout Rat Shirt: a hand-drawn rat tee about the workday. No stock art, no clip art — the character was drawn from scratch for this design.
Who the Corporate Burnout Rat Shirt is for
This one is aimed squarely at coworkers who bond over shared exhaustion. It sits in the Work & Business part of the collection, alongside the other designs about the workday.
Wearing and using it
The cut is unisex and true to size — it works as an everyday tee rather than something saved for occasions. Sizes run XS–5XL.
As a gift
It gifts well for the same reason it sells well — it's narrow enough to feel personal. Anyone who recognizes the workday in themselves will wear it out.
From the listing
Made for office workers, remote teams, freelancers, and anyone buried under an endless inbox, this email overload shirt features a scruffy rat clutching coffee beside a laptop and envelope. A chaotic vintage office graphic tee and relatable coworker gift.
The disheveled grey rat has wide, exhausted eyes, oversized ears, a steaming mug, and one more message waiting to be answered. Finished with “Email Mood” lettering, vintage ink lines, and soft watercolor textures, the design captures the familiar feeling of opening your laptop and immediately needing more coffee.
A memorable gift for office workers, remote employees, freelancers, administrative assistants, managers, customer service teams, virtual assistants, and coworkers who spend most of the day inside their inbox.
