At my old job we had "uniforms" which meant: a polo with a logo on it.

I heard about dress codes before, even about enforcing them, but never about uniform requirements. Wild.

At my job, they give out company polos and t-shirts, but no requirement to wear them. We're just being asked to wear them if a client is coming or if there's an in-house exhibition.

As someone else wrote, I also prefer to wear out the gifted clothes rather than my own.

Same here, re: the first paragraph. I received two shirts and a (good quality) windbreaker. I've never heard anyone having to buy company uniforms, but I'm in Europe.

As an American, I think the only time I’ve ever paid for a company-branded clothing item was when one company offered us (completely optional) customized soccer jerseys in celebration of that year’s World Cup. They were actually pretty nice! But, I’ve never worked anywhere a uniform was mandatory.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment in losing my last job (besides the steady paycheck and the best health insurance plan I’d ever had) was that I’d only a couple months earlier collected enough corporate t-shirts to wear a different company-branded shirt each day of the week.

From my fast food work experience - all those people helping you paid for their own uniforms.

I like WFH where there's no dress code and pants are optional

I also like Wild and Flamboyant Hedonism but how is that related
