Or they have one of those internal staff merch shops and they make them pay for it?
Maybe. A lot of workplaces hand out merch though.

We used to get free merch at the company I worked at but I wouldnât get caught dead carrying it or wearing it out in public.

Depends on the merch. I wouldnât wear some of our staff shirts after work. That way, I could defintrely claim it on tax (we had to pay for it) and say âI wouldnât be caught dead in it if I could avoid itâ
And trust me, weâd be made to pay for it. We are a state government agency/department.
I only use my backpack at the beach and my polo and t-shirt to mow the lawn.
Seven did a have public merchandise store 20 years ago, naturally called 7 Store.
The original website featured the usual things you would expect from such a store, eg pens and mugs.
I had a Seven News mug from there at the time but I have no idea what happened to it

Seven Network investigated for alleged staff pay and condition breaches
Employment litigation firm Adero Law is investigating the Seven Network after current and former employees have reported concerns about their pay and working conditions.
Adero said the concerns from journalists, producers, camera operators and production crew related to potential underpayments, misclassification of roles, unpaid breaks and unpaid overtime.
Should a class action be filed, and the complaint upheld, a recent Federal Court decision against Coles and Woolworths could prove costly for Seven. The court found employers must keep detailed timesheets for salaried staff including overtime, and each supermarket chain found its backpay estimates blow out by millions.
While the concerns have reportedly originated from more than 20 people, there were more than 1200 Seven West news and current affairs employees on the 2022 Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA).

UPDATE
A Seven spokesperson told Mumbrella: âSeven West Media is confident it is paying its news and current affairs employees appropriately and in line with the enterprise agreement and legislative obligations.â
Wasnât there one at Martin Place? Or am I imagining things.

Seven West CEO Jeff Howardâs $1.25m pay package faces shareholder revolt
Seven West Media shareholders are reportedly being urged to vote against new CEO Jeffrey Howardâs $1.25 million pay packet at the companyâs annual general meeting on Thursday.
According to Capital Brief, proxy advisory firm CGI Glass Lewis has criticised the âhighâ remuneration awarded to Howard for the 2026 financial year. The firm argued the figure is difficult to justify in light of Sevenâs âfurther deterioratedâ performance in 2025.

Seven West Media chief executive Jeff Howard said the media company, which owns Network Seven and The West Australian newspaper, recorded flat television revenue in the three months to September compared with last year, but had experienced a steep fall in October. The decline prompted the company to increase the size of its cost cuts from $35 million to $50 million.
Kerry Stokes says goodbye to his shareholders as SWM accelerates its cuts
Todayâs annual general meeting of Seven West Media was the last with Kerry Stokes as chair. As he said his goodbyes, this is what the market learned.
Although he remains in the chair for another three months, Kerry Stokes farewelled shareholders today.
At Seven West Mediaâs last annual general meeting before its merger with Southern Cross Austereo, Stokes reminded his audience that although he will move on in February, his son Ryan will remain on the new board, and his familyâs indirect stake in the business will keep the 85-year-old interested.
Stokes blames âmaraudersâ as owners reject pay report
Kerry Stokes has used his last annual general meeting as Seven West Media chair to blast âforeign maraudersâ and an unfair tax system for the groupâs fading revenues.
Seven Westâs total revenue slipped four per cent in the latest financial year, while group net profit after tax shrunk from $67 million in the 2024 financial year to $30 million in 2025.
