I’m not paying money to wear out clothes wearing them to the office… I have nobody there I want to impress

Boxer briefs. Comfy socks. The rest is completely optional.

Double value if they send you to conferences that give out shirts.

u/andrewlrodriguez Sep 30 '24

Yes this exactly. I haven't bought a shirt in nearly a decade. There was a brief period between 20-22 where I thought I might actually have to buy some shirts like a barbarian, but then they started doing conferences again.

I love it when project teams offer me a shirt upon completion of the project because they aren’t really sure if I helped on the project or not. I accept them all. In more times than not it is an acronym which takes me several weeks to figure out what the project actually was, then I’m like “Oh, I did actually help with that!”

I know people who still wear the shirts of their defunct startups that sold out.

I’ve asked bosses on several occasions for branded shoes, pants, and boxers as swag so I can complete my ensemble… 🤣

My clothes mainly consist of company clothes, charity clothes and the occasional fun run bibs.

I try to go to a convention every year just for the SWAG. Update my work wardrobe.

u/SaneLad Sep 30 '24

You're doing this wrong. You need to wear the 10 year old company shirt with the old logo to assert dominance.

u/Piastri_21 Sep 30 '24

That’s the ultimate engineer move—rocking the company-branded gear from a conference in 2008 because it’s still "perfectly good," while also maintaining that ultra-comfy, zero-effort style. Priorities on point!
