Is it OK to use swag from your previous job at our new company? Asking for a friend.
Totally cool to show up on the first day with a sweatshirt from a competitor.
No one cares about you that much as long as it's not someone like the head of Azure wearing an AWS t-shirt.
It’s okay to wear swag from another tech company if that other company has higher prestige; but if you left it for a company with lower prestige it means you were clearly about to be fired. So either way it’s lose / lose
I have an Oracle hockey puck as a paper weight.
Why would anyone wear crappy swag. You work hard, make some money, get some good clothes. And avoid that growing belly paunch. You’re better than rocking free isht.
I was once in a loop with a guy who wore Google t-shirt to a Microsoft interview. He got the job.
