      I can see PRIMARK/pennies dying out in the next 10 years unless brand change.

      I wonder how bad the likes of Shein and Temu etc are hurting them? I do chat to our post man regularly enough and the van does be full of stuff from the Chinese sites.

      It’s a shop I’ve stopped going into in the last 10 years or so since I hit mid 30’s I found they didn’t really have clothes for men over a certain age. At least not in the local one.

      So they chose Mumbai. The justification is corporate gold (aka bull)…

      “As we continue to grow internationally, we need to evolve our operating model to best support this ambition,”

      A really successful Irish company – but honestly they are a grim operation and are destroying the planet with the utter shite they try to sell.

      Outsourcing to Mumbai in India because they can pay staff 400% less wages, but hiding behind: “As we continue to grow internationally, we need to evolve our operating model to best support this ambition,”

      This is going to be a trend over the next 5 years or so

      Outsourcing to Mumbai via Accenture, a company that does webinars for people on social welfare, tax payer money needs to stop going to a company killing jobs here.

      I mostly buy my son’s clothes for crèche in Penneys

      Cheap clothes damage the environment.
      Its high time we take the literal shirt off working class peoples back and ban/tax the lot.

      The quality is absolutely chronic. Their t-shirts for men are disposable, even the ones that exceed €12.

      Cold wash for 30 mins doesn’t matter.

      They come out all distorted, hug the wrong areas to a point you begin second guessing yourself and make you feel shit about yourself.

      “The planned job cuts are in HR, finance and procurement and are linked to a proposal to move a number of support function activities to a third party.
      It is understood the third party provider is Accenture in Mumbai.” – Wait a minute, you’re telling me a fast fashion company is outsourcing workers for cheap labour? Colour me shocked.

      They’ve overcommitted to a contract with Rita Ora, the clothes are shit, and constantly on sale, reduced.

      Waste of product, waste of rack space, waste of money.whoever thought this multiple year contract was a good idea should be in that group being let go.

      Penneys retail T-Shirts starting @ €2.50 on their website. Think about that. That wouldn’t cover a cup of coffee in pretty much any location in Ireland. They’re obviously hyper cost conscious to sell at this level – which means farming out some high Dublin wage jobs to low cost locations. It’s capitalism 101. You don’t have to like it but it’s reality…especially as few enough bargains in Ireland

      Penneys has been awful for the last decade. Lowered their quality and upped their prices. I can not understand why they brag about clothing being made of cancer causing recycled plastic. The women’s clothing, both trousers and tops, are made for people who are short. I’m 5 feet 10, and I’d need three tops sewn together for it to be long enough. Absolute rags.

      I’ve been telling everyone that outsourcing to India is the single biggest threat to the Irish job market and here it is.

      There won’t be any roles for people in AP, AR, Bookkeeping, Customer Service, Junior HR, Payroll, etc if companies operating here are allowed to offshore huge amounts of jobs.

      The cost savings are attractive sure but I agree with others, it won’t last

      I remember 3 Ireland, they had made a call center in India and I believe they got a throne of complaints about it from customers. They since opened up a customer service center full of Irish people in Limerick and when they answered the phones they actually said “thank you for calling 3 Ireland Limerick!).

      I also recall when they fixed the Boeing 737 MAX8 issue with the fault causing them to crash, they traced it back to the software that was created and developed by Boeing was actually outsourced to India to a company being paid $9 an hour. 2 plane crashes later and that was the end of that.
