Our take on the Boss Tears Of My Employees Coffee Mug M1T0069

This is a ceramic novelty coffee mug printed with a joke aimed at bosses: "Tears of My Employees." It comes in 11 oz and 15 oz sizes, has a handle, and is both microwave and dishwasher safe. The print is applied by sublimation, so the design sits in the glaze rather than on top of it and resists fading better than vinyl decals. It is a gag gift for a manager's birthday, farewell, retirement or Christmas, and it competes with other joke mugs on humor rather than on build quality. Buyers of this kind of mug mainly judge the print sharpness and whether the lettering survives washing.

Questions and answers

Is the print dishwasher safe?

Yes. The mug is dishwasher safe, and sublimation printing fuses the design into the coating, so it holds up better than a stuck-on decal. Hand washing still keeps the print sharpest over years.

Which size should I pick, 11 oz or 15 oz?

The 11 oz is the standard office mug size and fits most single-serve coffee makers. The 15 oz suits people who drink large coffees or tea and don't mind a heavier mug.

Can it go in the microwave?

Yes, the ceramic mug is microwave safe. Avoid microwaving it empty or for long stretches, since the print area can get very hot.

Is this a good gift for a retiring or leaving boss?

It fits farewell, retirement and Christmas gifting, and the joke reads as affectionate ribbing. Only give it to a boss you know will take the joke well.

Is the design printed or a sticker?

It is sublimation printed, which bonds the image into the mug's coating. That means no raised sticker edge and less peeling, though the colors can look slightly softer than a glossy decal.

Does it come in a gift box?

The mug is sold as a single ceramic mug. If you need presentation, plan to wrap it yourself or add a box.
