Project Roll-out Clothing
We here have just had a huge amount of company clothing "thrown away"... this is stuff that was printed for a project so that we could wear it when customers were being shown around.

We design machinery.... That makes card-board boxes. Usually these boxes contain juice. I shall say nothing more on that.....

Let's say this project was called "TRR LMG" .... which - let's say - stands for something in this trade that all would understand.

These T-Shirts had "TRR LMG - Dressed for Success" screen printed on them. Very Flash. We wore the shirts 2 years ago.

Our comnpany has seen fit to Axe many projects... the TRR being one of them...

I have just found this pile of un-used T-shirts... differnt colours, Same phrase.... and me and 4 mates have just sat in a big meeting about the company's Strategy etc... wearing T-shirts proclaiming "TRR LMG - Dressed for Success."

Needless to say it was a kind of small protest... Apparently it wasn't seen as small by the managers who nervously stumbled through thier presentations while trying not to make eye-contact with us.

Top Tip...

If you're in a company that's looking for ways of cutting funding to certain projects, and ways to get rid of engineers.... Don't go poking fun at the bosses by wearing out-dated relic t-shirts in order to insinuate that they're assses: They'll label you as trouble-makers.

(walking into the meeting (in single file) late probably didn't help... nor did deliberately showing the shirts to the entire audience... making them laugh.... )
