Kinda related pic for your time.

So my company has decided to get uniforms. This isn’t their first stab at it, though the last one was pretty half-assed and not maintained.
I have no problem with this. I’ve been in uniforms of one form or another a good chunk of my life. It makes the company look more unified and organized. Stops people from looking too shitty. And eliminates wardrobe choices, which is nice... makes the morning routine totally brainless.
Now I find out they’re going to get 360 degrees of logos and slogans etc. Logos, fine. Names, good. Don’t fucking plaster the back of my shirt with marketing wank. I’m not a billboard. It’s not a billboard. It’s a uniform. Strangest thing is, the whole idea was to make us look a bit more classy. #1, marketing wank is not classy. The drivers above only have that shit because they need sponsors to operate. We are not sponsoring ourselves. #2, it’s not like we had any major issue before, even with the guys out the back. #3, It’s a small company. If you have issues, doesn’t a dress code make more sense? The guys out back will wear their uniforms out in record time. Like hell my boss will wear them—and why should he? Sooo... we’re going to be a neat, orderly uniformed PAIR of people... There won’t be replacements. Never are. Only one person here really gives a damn about the uniforms... and as soon as he gets them he’ll lose interest. A couple years down the road long after everyone wears them out he’ll have a sudden urge to get new ones. Seriously dude... dress code.
Meh, free clothes. Nice ones, too, apart from the billboardism. I’mma do what I did the last time, wear them out fast and buy identical ones w/o wank.
Rant out.

Make sure you have more than the prescribed 35 pieces of flair.

I honestly could never do a uniform. My last two jobs have both required that I display my ID badge at all times and I’ve been like “yeah... no... no. I don’t do that.”

Personally I’d rather possess some pieces of FLIR. I don’t like standing out, but I’m a gadget freak

Like I said I’ve been in some form of uniform for a long time. I’m used to it. It has side benefits which are great for someone like me who picks his areas to exert energy very carefully and for whom wardrobe doesn’t fall into the category of “worth worrying tons over”.
But you can take you marketing wank and shove it up your ass. I ain’t no fucking billboard.

Yea, I’ve worked at “display badge at all times” places...I’m like “cool, I’ll keep it in my wallet then.”

yeah my work it is just nice polo shirts with the company logo and the shirt company’s brand on one sleeve. They are ok, but boring AF. So since we are a dealer I just buy car line swag and where those polos when I don’t want to wear the work shirts. We also got uniform pants to wear to make us all look “nicer” even though they are those crap pre pleated work pants. They are so uncomfortable. So I just wear black or gray jeans most of the time and blue jeans f the shift I wear is more suited to it. I never get talked to about it or does anyone car. Though my work is pretty lenient. I have to studs in my lip and a tongue ring. Though the studs don’t stand out much thanks to the beard. I have had read, blue, purple, and pink hair colors and the customers just absolutely love it, so work doesn’t say anything. Along with two viable tattoos (easily hidden by a nice dress shirt if need be cause duh). I like being able to express the little individuality I am able to and I am glad no one “talks to me” about it because they could go fuck themselves.

Pants are one thing I’ll be able to get away with... the first crack at a uniform was green-brown pants. After they wore out I just switched to an appropriate shade of Carhartt’s (FTW!!!) and then jeans. No complaints so far.
I don’t think there are pants planned this time. I’ll deal with that when the time comes.
