    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 sometimes wear my work badge and lanyard on my lunch break as I need it to get back into the building.... I don't wear it to the pub or in the shower though ;)

    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

    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: 6,748 ✭✭✭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: 1,375 ✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,669 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Full Kit **** is the term you should always use in such a case Full Kit Wanker

    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).
