Just what I need. Another stupid t-shirt. I can buy t-shirts.
I am a tad bitter on this as I sat developing in a cubicle in a palace of an office as the dot com crumbled while the upper eschelon continued ordering t-shirts. As well as hats, umbrellas, baseball bats, stress balls (real handy there), and bouncy balls that light up on impact.
Not to mention the free beverage "wall" that we had, expresso machines, foosball, catered all hands meetings once monthly with endless beers.
We weren't motivated. Most of us were pleased to be working in that environment, but weren't motivated because as serious professionals we knew it was going in the toilet.
There is probably a fine line where that all should stop, but I'll take respect over a t-shirt for motivation any day.
