I work for Microsoft. When I had a kid they sent a “care package” with some items. But literally every item had “Microsoft” or “Met Life” (our employee life insurance I think) all over everything.
I ripped the “met life” shirt off of the snoopy plush and trashed everything else.
It’s not just limited to backpacks. They try to turn everything, even a kids blanket, into a fucking ad. It’s so gross.
You can’t send some cheap items to your employee without branding it with an ad.
I don’t work for MetLife. Why the fuck would that even be on there? I guess they want to keep reminding me to get life insurance because I’m a kid. Like, holy fuck, I hate this shit.
Fuck Microsoft. Fuck their support of genocide. I didn’t even choose to work here. They bought my startup company for pennies on the dollar during Covid.
It’s probably also because of tax. Here in the Netherlands, you cannot provide any clothes without a logo of a certain size. Otherwise it would be seen as ‘wages’. True to some extent. This is why companies here print their logos on stuff (even for newborn rompers).

I’ve been avoiding Microsoft like the plague because of other reasons for a long time, so I didn’t know about this.
