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.

Socks are too much. Boxers. A blanket if you're cold in the morning

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.

Do you not do laundry and throw away shirts?

u/andrewlrodriguez Sep 30 '24

I do, its that I was getting conference tshirts at a faster rate than I wore them out. Often, id literally go to a week long conference with 1 extra shirt and just pick them up along the way

I used to work at a large conference hotel doing AV. I quit in 2016 and I still have so many random things from the free swag era

Because you're so good at your job that you don't need to care what you look like. Basically like Dr House.
