If you are an "engineer-type" and there's free stuff and you don't take any then that's likely to reflect more poorly on you than taking it. After all, the logic says "it costs you nothing", "you gain", "nobody else loses" so "It's a win-win and positive result all around". To not take it would be illogical. If you are in some other field then I don't know. | |

| Nov 11, 2014 at 23:55 | comment | added | ChrisLively | If your wife said so then it's true. That's not sarcasm - I've been married for long enough to know that "yes dear" and "you're right dear" are words to live by ;) That said, from your company's perspective - they'd likely be happy to not have to store a box of someone else's stuff and would be happy to see it disappear. | |
| Nov 11, 2014 at 23:53 | comment | added | yuritsuki | @ChrisLively This of course is conjecture from my wife, who believes that there is some negative connotation to doing so, that of which I am completely inclined to believe. | |
| Nov 11, 2014 at 23:53 | comment | added | ChrisLively | Just making sure I understand this. A company (not yours) brings stuff in to give away; and there is generally left over stuff sitting around somewhere? If that's the case, then I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would care if you took 1 t-shirt or 100. The purpose of a t-shirt is advertisement. If it's in a box then it's a waste of money. | |
