So…You’ve Been Volunteered?
It starts with an innocent suggestion in a meeting.
Someone mentions new hoodies for the leavers.
Or a uniform refresh. Or branded workwear for the team.
Everyone nods.
Everyone agrees it’s a great idea.
Then…everyone slowly looks at you.
Congratulations! You’re now in charge of sourcing, pricing, sizing, designing, and ordering branded clothing.
You didn’t ask for this. You just wanted a quiet life.
The Hidden Pain of Branded Clothing Admin
Let’s be honest, it’s never just ordering some T-shirts.
You’ve now got:
- A dozen messages asking if “burgundy” is the same as “wine”
- Three different logo files (all slightly wrong)
- A sizing spreadsheet from 2017
- Someone who wants “just one” in a completely different colour
- A WhatsApp group called Leavers Hoodies 2025 slowly destroying your soul
It’s not your full-time job. But it could be.
