You still get company swag? In the 2010's, I got a ton of it, but not anymore. Maybe it is just that the company I was working at got too cheap to give out swag and when I switched jobs, I joined another cheapskate, but I assumed that it was the same everywhere.

I have enough company and recruiter swag collected during the good years that I have not needed to buy t-shirts, especially because I generally wear a collared shirt over them, so I don't care what logos and slogans they have.

I'm union blue collar, but yeah there's still branded swag and free meals/snacks during most meetings or training OT at least where I'm at.
