My company keeps trying to force me to tattoo its logo all over myself. Things I have gotten from them: three t-shirts with the corporate logo. A backpack with the corporate logo. Duffel bags with the corporate logo (at least two, one I gave to my mom). A cooler with the corporate logo. A seat cushion with the corporate logo (???). Now someone just gave me a massive beach towel with the corporate logo! Do they really think I enjoy them this much?

Why don't you actually tattoo their logo on you, surely it's what they want. Ally I think you should do it.
(JOKE obv, so not do it lady - work clothes with logos on are always horrid, or at least ours are!)

Has your company ever tried to get you to eat human flesh?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 15 August 2003 14:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Mine has, and I was like, "Dude, I'm only part-time! You want my soul? Let's talk dental plan, Izz."

Don't drink the "company Kool-aid."

We always have two version of the corporate t-shirt that gets handed out. One is a big t-shirt. The other is a skin tight baby t. That's all I'm saying.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 14:21 (twenty-three years ago)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 15 August 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I love getting free things, I couldn't give a bollock if they're corporate or not.

Woo to my CSI cap that I will never ever wear obviously.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

No.

― Everyone (Mark C), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

What did you just call me?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I think he's trying to say you're a count.

I knew you were into kinky sex gear, but that's a little over-the-top.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Like you wouldn't wear that.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Kinky sex gear with corporate logos?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:25 (twenty-three years ago)

They gave me the third outfit down but it's got the "MP" design all over the tie, wtf.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally is a sexatary!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

holy shit.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry I should've pointed out that that's only work safe if you work here.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:35 (twenty-three years ago)

where in god's name do you work again and will you hire me?

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

You can have my job if you want it, but you have to dress up like the Sexetary?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I have worn worse.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok, then you're in.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

rest of series plz.

kthxbye

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

OK I hate all these people. Twice today I've gotten nasty messages/phone calls from OUR OTHER COWORKERS in non-NYC offices giving me shit for not calling back "in a timely fashion" or being able to help them out--hello? DO YOU NOT HAVE TVS IN SAN FRANCISCO/BOSTON/DC??? WHAT IN THE MOTHERFUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Everyone in the sales offices are too stupid to live and I'd like to plaster their mouths shut with these MP corporate logo mailing labels I have millions of.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Pish-tush, Ally! That logo isn't a "tattoo". It is a brand. Corporations always like to have plenty of irons in the fire, so to speak.

― Aimless, Friday, 15 August 2003 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I just got a job in SF two minutes ago that only requires me to dress in the nurse uniform, sorry! Thanks.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh.

But I had the RC logo mug all ready for you :(

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd keep the t-shirt in the trunk of my car. Just in case i need TP in a precarious situation...cant count the number of times my socks had to take a hit for the team.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I once worked for an *awful* company who presented us all with logo tshirts only weeks before layoffs. I got a sharpie marker and emblazoned a big old circle-and-slash over the logo and wore it for a while...

― Layna Andersen (Layna Andersen), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:43 (twenty-three years ago)

The worst: a corporate polo shirt.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:46 (twenty-three years ago)

our company is now enforcing a dress code stating that you can't wear t-shirts with "pictures or language" on them.

the upshot of this? all the promo swag shirts they gave to employees are now banned. grebt.

also, they banned shorts. great thing to do when the heat index is up to 95F.

anyhoo, i'm not there today, yet i am still spending the majority of the day posting here. funny, that.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

at least this isn't your corporate logo:

The worst: a corporate chastity belt.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 15 August 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

society should ban shorts as a rule, at least for men.

I really do (did) work for a cult, walmart (corporate website, not as greeter). I decided to leave the second they started expecting us to do the "walmart cheer" at company meetings. Half the people here are russian and refused to do it because "in the soviet union cheers meant something else". ha.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 15 August 2003 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I think they're mistaken.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 15 August 2003 17:26 (twenty-three years ago)

walmart corporate meetings are exactly like red square.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 15 August 2003 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

i think they mean in russia there is no good cheer.
