Act your wage hat is for:

• employees with boundaries and bills
• coworkers who match effort to compensation
• people tired of motivational posters doing payroll’s job
• office survivors who know “above and beyond” has a price
• anyone quietly rebalancing their work-life portfolio

The Act your wage hat keeps the message short and economically rational. It is workplace humor for people who understand that labor, like everything else, has a market price.

Wear it outside the office or inside your own head during the next unpaid urgency spiral.
