I remember my friend telling me when he got his job with a new real estate company, they gave him 3 suits, a cold weather jacket, 5 shirts, 8 pairs of socks, 8 pairs of underwear and 3 pairs of shoes. I asked him why they gave a grown man clothes? He said “because companies are supposed to buy their clothes for their professionals like they do at McDonalds”

Wait, sorry…that never happened.

Seriously? Guys now can’t afford a black pair of slacks and a few junk shirts to do their job? Our uniform provider is junk. So much junk that many guys donate our allowance to new FOs who can’t seem to find $100 to buy a few shirts and a pair of pants.

Paying for uniforms and medical, such low hanging fruit. FUPM, give me money, that’s what I want and I’ll buy my own supplies from a uniform supplier that actually makes decent stuff.
