I hate it too, and not just because it's making my body a free billboard that advertizes the company. It's because I don't want more clothes, period. I think it's fair to assume that anyone who works at a tech company - certainly in the dev department - is not going to be experiencing any personal shortage of clothing. Unless the point is to provide a corporate uniform, why give people more day-to-day stuff that they clearly already have enough of, seeing as they survived perfectly fine up until getting that job? It's profligate and gross. And that holds true for pretty much every form of company swag, to be honest. Is there any product the average upper middle class professional is seriously lacking in their personal life that would be cost-effective for an employer to provide in a swag bag? Realistically, no. It's all just a massive waste.
