Just started job as a new hire at Spotify. Saw an intern get a bunch of swag: a hat, sweater, coasters, etc. from her manager. It’d be nice to get some stickers or free clothing I could wear, but I have a feeling my manager doesn’t care much about this kind of stuff. Anything I can do? :(
Not the kind of post Blind wants but the kind Blind deserves!
Just ask. No one is going to remember.
The only person I know to ask is my engineering manager who I’ll be with for a while
I really don’t think the manager will remember this given what else he/she is busy with. You could also just ask in slack groups or whatever you guys use and see if anyone is willing to help out.
HR is your best bet. Say you want to represent your company!
Mug the intern when there's no one around
Blind at its peak
I was mugged by my director once, have to give away all my candies :(
1) Organize an outreach event 2) Ask for swag for said outreach event 3) Host it well 4) Keep a little bit of what's leftover and keep asking for more swag for future events
Tc? I am considering a offer from Spotify
Do you work in Bloomberg London?
NYC
Why do you even want it? I’ve never understood the culture of wearing swag at the office. To me it looks like Borg. Be yourself!
Just ask your manager or the ops person in your tribe. You’re supposed to get a bunch when you join. That is part of basic onboarding
