WORK KILLS® Announces a Writing Contest About Working

San Francisco, CA , April 5, 2016 (Newswire.com) - WORK KILLS®, America's hottest "must have" fun and understatement T or sweatshirt, announces a writing contest about working.  Each of the 500 winners will win a beefy T or 80% cotton and 20% polyester sweatshirt shirt by writing their story on the http://www.WorkKills.biz contest contact page about the miseries they've had to endure from their working experiences and how they've coped with them.  WORK KILLS® believes that today's working environment takes a slow psychological and physically madding toll on all of us, day by day, and sadly, it all adds up to the deprivation of our Constitutional right of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  

Are you are trapped?  Tell us why.  Did you ever get even with someone and what did you do? No one likes being unjustifiably bossed around, stabbed in the back, put up with an unbearable day-after-day miserable commute twice a day, being lied to, short changed on commissions, deprived of sick leave, being underpaid and underappreciated, living under the threat of being replaced, particularly by a foreigner on a visa who you have to train or someone younger with no experience or being replaced by outsourcing, and generally being dehumanized as just "another number." 

In short, tell us why work is getting you psychologically down, wearing thin, driving you crazy and how you cope.  We know that there has to be a lot of interesting or funny stories out there and we appreciate your help.  We want your insights, suggestions, predictions and thoughts because you might be able to help our fellow American workers. 

Amuse us if you can because laughter is the lubrication of life.  Laughter helps the pain go away.  We are primarily interested in being amused because we designed and trademarked the Work Kills® shirt to make a powerful humorous understatement and protest.

When you wear the shirt people of all ages instantly understand and agree with it.  Don't be surprised when strangers say "I like your shirt" or "You got that right." or "Where can I get that shirt?"  You will find that wearing a Work Kills shirt is a real ice breaker.  You will proudly wear it to any casual occasion for years.  We do not advise that you wear the shirt to work, especially if you tell your boss that you've decided to be the company's new Morale Officer.  Maybe you could wear it on your last day?

We will post some of the winners on WorkKills.biz, not using your name unless you give us permission in writing, and insist that you do not identify any employers or workers by name. We have the first Winner's story posted on our website; check it out.
