Vintage TheLadders Internal “FOLLOW ME / STOP FOLLOWING ME” Initiative - $10 (Renton-Fairwood)
QR Code Link to This Post
This shirt wasn’t swag — it was internal propaganda, printed for a short-lived initiative that probably had a kickoff meeting, a Slack channel, and absolutely no measurable impact.
Front: FOLLOW ME
Back: STOP FOLLOWING ME
Which perfectly captures the emotional arc of every startup between Series A and the hiring freeze.
Sleeve has the secret internal-only Ladders icon — not the logo they showed the public, just the one reserved for PowerPoints, morale decks, and people who thought “maybe this project will save us.”
Printed on a vintage American Apparel 2001 blank, which — like the company that made it — is also dead.
So you’re basically buying two failed brands at once. Synergy.
Specs:
Size L
Double-sided print (twice the corporate confusion)
Cream AA2001 cotton
Extremely “I survived a startup that didn’t” energy
Perfect for tech archivists, startup veterans, recruiters, VCs with trauma, or anyone who likes wearing shirts with lore.
Price: $10
