    Noticed lately that individuals working for famous international companies go around everywhere wearing their uniforms to show passively aggressively show you how superior they are. Ridiculous tbh. I mean public places like restaurants, shops etc.

    If they have to wear a work uniform to show superiority, I wouldn't be too worried about them to be homest

    I have to ask, what “famous international companies” have “superior” looking uniforms ???
    McDonalds??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,740 ✭✭✭Foweva Awone


    Erm most people employed by international companies who have to wear uniforms for work aren't really in a position to be displaying seniority. No offence. :o (Possible exceptions for pilots and the like.)

    Was he passive aggressive?

    I'm sure he was....in fact for the purposes of the thread we'll say he was.

    but in truth my son wasn't a friend of his kid so I didn't have to engage with him. thank fcuk says me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,681 ✭✭✭Try_harder


    Who that has to wear a uniform (and can wear it outside work) has a feeling of superiority? BA Pilots?

    Employees of large American multinationals often wear company clothing they get free. It's just a reflection of how robotic and subservient they have become. The American bosses find it much easier to brainwash Irish than other Europeans. Not sure why.

    You could have misjudged him. Not a dopey passive aggressive gimp but a father showing pride in his kid at their confirmation. And dressed for a work shift later on.

    My place of work gave us all a free jacket which is warm, comfortable and waterproof. Has one logo on the left of the chest. I wear it often outside work. Hope I don't piss off too many people when I wear it!

    Maybe I'm just really passive aggressive and don't know it....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper


    Spas. Everyone knows you show superiority through the medium of gig t shirts from years ago.

    Be janey between having to beg for other people’s leftovers and now worrying about company uniforms, then of course you have your Brexit Armageddon...not your best year, is it?

    I seen a lad dressed as a hamburger today promoting a chipper.

    He had some air of superiority about his face alright.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,750 ✭✭✭Avatar MIA


    I'm going to guess RC priests.

    On a bit of a decline, but still part of a very large multinational. Extra kudos for on display crucifix.

    Do you work for Regatta?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 745 ✭✭✭vectorvictor


    Surely superiority is wearing chinos and a check shirt while the minnions sport Ill-fitting company issued trousers and off-white shirts they couldn't be arsed doing a light wash for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭Fanny Wank


    I use my company umbrella when it rains

    I never thought about it before but reading this thread makes me hope that that also pisses off people who appear to have far too much time on their hands

    I work for a large American multinational, and in some areas of the factory, you have to wear certain clothes/uniform which is provided for free, and if you're not in one of those areas, you still have to option of taking the 'uniform'.I don't have to, and I don't. I don't see how wearing a company uniform can make you seem superior in any way. I'd hate to have to do it...


    Some people like wearing the clothes because it means they've free clothes, and there's less wear on their own personal clothes. It's not about being subservient, though (in my opinion).

    If he were an Aussie the prick would have had some right egg on his face.

    There is a fairly good representation of different European countries working in American multinationals based here.

    No, no, no. "Prestigious" office companies who pay only the highest wages such as Facebook, Google, citi, Intel.
    The companies who are supposedly paying top dollar.
    This is done to show how superior they are because they work in these notorious companies with very well paying jobs therefore = superiority. You will not see a McDonald's worker or Tesco worker going around in their uniform to the pub while they are not working.
    It's just "look at me, I'm so rich and famous because I work for a massive US international".

    If he stopped feeling so worthless and shlt about his life, these thoughts would go away. He thinks the world is out to get him.

    I do, just hang the lanyard on my stem and run the card between my butt cheeks.

    Cleans the lanyard and keeps the card dry.

    Quick wipe with a towel and- ready to rock.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,958 ✭✭✭✭Shefwedfan


    I work for large international...our uniform is a suit, I also wear suits for other occasions, would this also offend you?

    You don’t know much about US multinationals if you think they pay top dollar and people are so rich because they work for them

    Did you ever consider they wear the work clothes because they can’t afford to wear anything else?

    Anytime they do earn anything they get taxed to the hilt to pay for the shower of wasters in this country that won’t get themselves a job? That spend their life crying because someone else had the get up and go to do something better with their life.....that more like the life of a US multinational worker

    I have a fine big Anglo Irish Bank golf umbrella. It sits in the hall, it cost every man, woman and child in the country ~50k. I am afraid to use it... but i am proud of it, as at least i got something for my 50k.

    Disclaimer: I did not work for them, but I think there are some matching Anglo golf balls knocking around.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,123 ✭✭✭Trigger Happy


    You might be thinking about things too much OP. The companies you listed would not be seen as prestigious places to work IMO and not the best paying either.
    And more than direct employees would get to wear those tshirts. Indirect employees hired thru partner companies, cpl for eg, wear them too. And those people certainly are not well paid.

    And people do not wear their companies logo on their shirts just to piss you off. Sometimes its not all about you!

    That’s absolute nonsense. Have you every worked in a large multi national? My jacket doesn’t get any less waterproof because it has an intel logo on it. It doesn’t fit me any wore because I left for a better job. It’s a free jacket and I like it, so I wear it.

    Angry person in angry person rant followed by more angry people with similar pent up anger.



    This folks is why brexit happened and trump got elected. Not because of any real particular problems. Because it misdirected idiocy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    Are you just projecting your own thoughts with assumptions of others?

    Who's to say they're not on a break, or before starting/finished work?

    Are they wearing their uniforms on their off-day(s)?! :confused:

    You know, even if they are they could be wearing an insignia'd company jacket outside, just because they want to wear a jacket? I got old company jackets and shirts that I would wear while gardening or heading to the shops... the idea of thinking I was trying to feel superior is beyond ridiculous. It's a fecking article of clothing, nothing more...
