More job losses

 

Robinsons Singapore throws in the towel after 162 years

The exit puts an end to the at least six years of losses that Robinsons has chalked up against declining revenues.

ROBINSONS Singapore, one of the oldest retailers in the Republic with more than a century in business, will close down for good following losses in recent years. But its last two stores at The Heeren and Raffles City Shopping Centre may remain open for a while more for final sales.

Since it moved to Heeren I think I went twice. First time found it hard to find the usual stuff, second time confirmed still hard to find. After that I gave up on the OCBC Robison card too. 

Now no work, no office to go to, also no need office wear.  No need to wait for Robinson sales. Just buy the Army cotton singlet to wear at home.😅

Now work from home also not much chance to wear formal official attire. 😅

 

I think I will pass....likely long queues forming up.

The stores have been losing money for the last six years, so the closure cannot be attributed to covid  , just that covid have  probably accelerated their decision. The number of impacted  175 staff seems to be low, I suppose many are contract sales staff and those deployed by the respective brands are not included in the statistics,  hope the affected staff could find a new job soon during this difficult time.
