I shit you not, small corpo I work at actually set up an internal e-shop where employees can buy merch. And somehow no employees were reported dying of laughter and there were even a few positive emoji reactions on slack.
Ridiculous. As an employee, if you want me to wear the company's logo, you better give me that shit for free. Then I might wear it.
I work for a call center, has centers all over the world...they have a "store" where you can spend " points" (the fake currency they made)...I was given 100 points so I went to the store to see what I could buy....
Among a lot of things I cannot remember what they all were but the only thing I could afford with the 100 points was a damn pair of flip flops wit the company logo on them.
Buy corpo merch?!?!
If it was NASA or Porche, I get it
Those emoji reactions came from the boot kickers trying to ingratiate themselves for a promotion by demonstrating how much they love the brand and the vision and the culture of the company.
I did sales for awhile, this is probably correct. You would be in multiple whatsapp groups and it was very important you reacted to things with happy emojis if you wanted to get anywhere.
Those are typically also the least helpful people that will want your help for anything, but will throw anyone under the bus to look better.
