Anti-workwear / est. MMXXVI
BE THE REASON
THE MACHINE
STOPS.
They need us obedient, exhausted, and back on Monday. Broken Cog is anti-workwear for those refusing to keep it running.
THE MACHINE RUNS ON US. WE DECIDE WHEN IT STOPS.
The first refusal
DROP 01
Wear your refusal. Work less. Stand together.
BROKEN COG / DROP 01
Broken Cog Logo Tee
A cog that refuses to turn. Wear it to work and save your enthusiasm for something else. The logo says enough.

Built for the Bare Minimum Tee
They want you to go above and beyond. That sounds outside the job description. Give them the minimum and keep some energy for yourself.
BROKEN COG / DROP 01
Work Less Tee
Less overtime. More time for whatever you actually care about. The work will still be there on Monday.

Let the Robots Have ’Em Tee
Let the robots have the jobs. They can take the pointless meetings and mandatory enthusiasm, too. We’ve got better things to do.
BROKEN COG / DROP 01
General Strike Tee
We should all call out. Give the boss a scheduling problem that pizza won’t fix. See you on the picket line.
BROKEN COG / DROP 01
Not Management Material Tee
The corporate ladder can stay right where it is. No clipboard, no motivational speech, no interest in making everyone else work harder. We’re good down here.

Nothing Runs Without Us Tee
Funny how the machine stops when we do. They call us replaceable, then panic when nobody covers the shift. Take your break together.

The manifesto
REFUSE.
REPEAT.
The machine runs on our time. Our bodies. The hours we never get back. Every day, it asks for more.
They call the grind ambition. They call obedience professionalism. They call you broken when you stop playing along.
BROKEN COG is a refusal to keep turning. To give less. To slow the machine. To stand with the people it wears down.
Work less. Stand together. Make it wait.
The machine runs on us. We decide when it stops.
