Ep. 317: (Company) Swag Surfin'

This week, the gang convenes to talk about the various perks that are afforded to the modern knowledge worker by their employer — especially all the branded jackets and backpacks and such. How should we feel about being made walking billboards for our companies? And what happens when we don’t work there anymore?

Somewhat predictably, Sean lashes out at corporate America, although it may just be because he’s not getting any swag at work. And there’s a Mad Men reference…but it’s not from Pierce for once.

MUSIC: “Country” – Good Morning
