Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is Jerry?
    • Jerry is all of us. 
      Jerry was the one who knew, and the one they let go.
      He wasn’t in the org chart, but he was the infrastructure.
      Now, Jerry is all of us who remember what the system forgot.

  • Why does this store exist?
    • Simply put, to further the interests of Jerrycore and its disciples. Shirts are a powerful canvas through which to convey messages, and that's what Jerrycore is all about. The message and the memory.
    • Also, remembering what everyone else forgot costs money. So we have to cover that too. 

  • Are these shirts serious?
    • Deadly serious, because memorializing institutional knowledge is cheaper than replacing it.

  • Can I return something?
    • You can try.

  • Can I wear this shirt to work?
    • Absolutely. Jerrycore shirts are recommended attire for Standups, System Outages, Exit Interviews, Post-mortems, and Wednesdays.

  • How do I explain this to HR?
    • You don't. If they ask, just say "You had a Jerry once. You let them go. This is my way of remembering."

  • Will this shirt protect me during layoffs?
    • No. But when you walk out, you'll do it with dignity, rage, and more drip than anyone left behind.

  • Are the products ethically made?
    • Yes, Jerrycore products are printed on demand to minimize waste and are sourced by people who give a damn.

  • Do you offer gift cards?
    • Yeah, they're great for when you want to say "I know you're the only reason this place still functions."
  • Can I contribute a testimonial?
    • Please do! Send your real stories of collapsed systems, forgotten fixes, and Jerries departed too soon. Jerrycore will honor them how corporate never did.
    • If your story or testimonial is used in a product, you will receive a copy of that product for free. 

  • What if I already left the company?
    • You didn't leave, you escaped. Now wear the truth and let it haunt them from LinkedIn.

  • Will this help my burnout?
    • No, but it'll help you put a label on it.

  • What if I am management?
    • Then you're part of the solution. Fly our colors, friend of Jerry. 

  • Can I order for my entire team?
    • You'd better. They deserve it.
