I really, really want to know what kind of person sees a pair of socks with a productivity app logo on them and thinks "I need these in my life."

- sharkweek 4y agoI worked at a startup that gave “store credits” away as, try not to laugh, morale boosters so employees could buy company swag. It was pretty hilarious.
- agos 4y agosame, I think we might have been colleagues!
- lmm 4y agoThat seems like a less bad version of handing out specific items of company swag ("woo, a t-shirt in the wrong size"). At least you can pick something that's useful to you.
- nsxwolf 4y agoSame - pretty common in the direct sales/MLM world!
- filmgirlcw 4y agoWe get a certain amount of money a year to buy GitHub swag, but in fairness, I think our shirts and swag is pretty great and most employees appreciate it/use it.
- idlehand 4y agoMost companies have a swag budget anyway, getting to pick which items you like is an improvement.
- jaxn 4y agoI still have some citusdata socks that I wear. They also have an elephant on them.
- edmundsauto 4y agoIt's probably someone who is really into productivity and self-improvement, makes it part of their identity, mentions it to their family... and then has 10 pairs gifted every xmas.
