Work trinkets

[FreightTrain]

I guess I don't make Choooo$$$$$Chooo$$$$$ money, because everything except the crystal and coin sounds pretty useful to me. We are family owned so my trinkets come in the form of truck accessories and yeti coolers, you know useful things that I can write off as a business expense.

The cooler was cheap and didn't even have a damn latch for the lid. I'm not sure what you're suppose to do with a winter coat in april, but even if I wanted to wear it I'd have to grow 6 inches and gain 100lbs. Oh no exchanges either. I just get the impression that the company buys this shit from snake oil salesman thinking it'd be a good gift, but the quality sucks to begin with. I just wish they'd give us a gift card for the amount they spend on this crap.

I get watermelon on the job every now and again.

At most conferences we get trinkets with the company logo, but the things you would want are available for sale, like a $75 golf shirt.

Don't get me started on the 5, 10, and 15 year gifts...

Sounds almost like my company. 10 year gift was a pretty nice Replogle globe, that I picked out of a bunch of other stuff, some junk, some nice.

[YALE]

It's about a hot bitch in the warehouse, so the next time they're handing out those lightweight golf shirts, I'll be at the front of the line.

[KBScobravert]

If UP picks me up I will gladly take their free shit.

[Ruffdaddy]

I got a sweet 10K gold badge clip for so many years..thought it was lame at first.

But you better believe I'm gonna cash for gold that bad boy.

[SS Junk]

My last SWAG bag had a railroad spike and a sliver of a tie.

When I worked at fastenal we didn't get shit. Our "Christmas bonus" was a box of stuff that grocery stores couldn't sell fastenal would buy it at a deep discount and ship it out on the company trucks to save move. Nothing says "thanks for the effort" like a box of expired shit.

When I owned my company, I'd give cash benefits out, tool sets, paid days off and stuff that people use.

At Cummins it was just branded items - shirts, hats, etc. the company shut down any attempts to give away anything else.

[Chili]

We get crappy logo stuff at work once in a while. Usually tied to some market expansion, or anniversary or whatnot.

<------ swag whore

I constantly wear shirts, hats, and jackets given to me by my company. I would say it would be next to impossible to find any picture I am in without seeing some form of company swag. I've got coozies, coolers, pocket knives, foldable chairs, golf stuff out the ying-yang......etc

[bluecollar]

We don't get trinket gifts handed out to the whole company. They pick a few of the better performing people to give stuff to. I usually get Cowboys tickets, Rangers tickets, discounts on merch, free lunches, etc.

Some folks embrace their career, while others take it for granted.
