About Ergophobia
Ergophobia: An intense or abnormal fear of work, corporate America, cubicles, commuting, and living a lifestyle marked by lack of originality or distinction.  We are living in the age of negotiation… destruction with the goal of creation, participation without purpose and machines crazier than the people who use them.  Humans act as electrical sockets in post-cultural societies to slow cook a global crock-pot of bullshit.  Fax machines are played out and cubicles burn with black smoke; get ergo-phobic.  Ergophobia creates a range of high quality denim, boardshorts, fleece, wovens, tees, and accessories.  For more information or to view the current line of products visit www.ergophobia.com.
