Lululemon cutting 150 corporate jobs as athleisure brand braces for tariff impact

[shockedcanadian]

Trumps tariffs will ensure that he gets all the demands he asks for, we simply don't have the free market needed to sustain the economy and these politicians and their weak nepotism managers operating covertly in corporations know it.

I can't even imagine how much worse our economy will be if we lose the auto industry.

Vancouver-based apparel company Lululemon Athletica Inc. is cutting about 150 corporate jobs as part of changes to its organizational structure, the retailer said Wednesday.

The affected employees are part of its store support centres, a spokesperson for the company told CBC News in a statement.

"As we continue to deliver on our strategy, we regularly assess our business operations to ensure we are well-positioned for the future," the spokesperson said. "Following a recent review, we have decided to evolve some aspects of our organizational structure to operate with more agility and further invest in our growth."

The move comes as U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariff war ripples through supply chains and dents bottom lines. Trump's tariffs have taken particular aim at China — a key market for Lululemon — and several Middle Eastern and Asian countries that are meccas for clothing manufacturers.

The cuts appear "aimed at streamlining costs and improving efficiency — likely aided by productivity gains from [artificial intelligence] — amid growing consumer uncertainty," wrote Bloomberg Intelligence retail analysts Poonam Goyal and Sydney Goodman.

"The move may also help preserve margins as the company navigates more cautious spending among shoppers," they wrote.

The analysts note this latest round of layoffs follows others made in 2024, when Lululemon closed a U.S. distribution centre, and in 2023, when it discontinued its connected fitness product, Mirror.

Are you pissed about the tariffs or happy about them?

I'm getting mixed signals here.

I am both.

Canada should never have been in this position but we are. The result of the massive unaccountable Police State violating rights and operating covertly in American corporations here, especially in Ontario.

Good, I hope that racist goes out of business. I expect lefties to support the company and its racism and will minimize it.

Trump's tariff's aren't doing jack shit for Trump or the American consumer, but your spin on this is, as always, skewed to conspiracy theories and bullshit, to denigrate the nation you're blessed enough to live in.

LuluLemon manufactures in Asia, primarily in China, India and Viet Nam. These are nations which Trump has attacked with huge tariffs. Furthermore, luxury athletic wear is one of the first sales which declines in unstable economic conditions.

Any retail company who's largest market is the USA is going to see a downturn as the American economy crumbles. 150 jobs - executive jobs at that, is not indicative of our economy failing. In fact, our economy is thriving, overall:

"While growth is expected to moderate, it is on track for another solid year in 2025 with real GDP forecast to expand by 2.2%, slightly higher than our previous 1.9% forecast. Momentum in resources and construction remains strong, supported by a diversified export base and comparatively lower exposure to U.S. tariffs." Posted 5 days ago

Remember these words, "my home when stolen by the apparatus will go down as the most expensive home in Canadian history".

If only you knew just how much the U.S authorities now know. 30+ Years of the most intimate interference in my life, from the unprovoked violence against me as a kid that rendered me deaf in one ear with permanent tinnitus and further diddlers from the brother of a cop.

I said I would never stop unless I was allowed to live my life freely and pursue happiness. I have G-d on my side (I hope).

The racist, misogynist asshole got forced out but is still its largest shareholder.

Apparently the stock is taking a kicking but I found this little gem in a CNN report. $1.3 BILLION in cash?????

"Despite that, McDonald said Lululemon is “better positioned than most” to endure and navigate the financial environment because it has $1.3 billion in cash and no debt, “which provides us significant financial flexibility,” he said."

You'd be shocked how these rackets are working now. Even for food! It says "imported by _______ company Montreal" or something to that effect.

It doesn't say where the hell the food or item is made, it just says which city it was imported to.

Be careful America. Some want to sink you and your allies don't believe in the freedoms that you do and they don't care if their decision harm you or Western civilization

 

[shockedcanadian]

Tariffs can be easily justified when you are engaging in trans national shipping and allowing criminal activity by the state or foreign states which impacts not just us, but America also.

If Trump offered a million U.S citizenships to the first Canadians who applied you'd have them in stock for a day or two before 1 million Canadian applied.

Don't blame me. I've been persecuted in this caste system and as a son of G-d I was transparent and pleaded Canada to change. We have a new Public Safety Minister, let's see if our Charter of Rights and relationship with allies means anything. Or, if we want to remain closer to the CCP through our actions...

In fairness, not even the CCP supports a caste!

Are you going to try and push this voodoo magic economic bs?

Here, from a real source, the OECD who cuts through the plastic data methods of each country. Police States always fail:

OECD predicts Canada will be the worst performing advanced economy over the next decade…and the three decades after that​

OECD predicts Canada will be the worst performing advanced economy over the next decade…and the three decades after that — Business Council of British Columbia

Ottawa’s economic growth strategy rests on four shaky pillars: accommodative monetary policy to support interest-sensitive sectors of the economy like credit, housing investment, and durable goods consumption; expansive fiscal policy guided by short-term "guardrails" and lacking a long

www.bcbc.com

Canada will be the worst performing advanced economy over 2020-2030​

The same OECD report offers insights on whether Canadians can look forward to meaningful gains in average living standards in the decades to come. The findings are sobering. The OECD predicts Canada can at best achieve real per capita GDP growth of only 0.7 percent per annum over 2020-2030 (Figure 1a).This places us dead last among advanced countries.

Canada will also be the worst performing advanced economy over 2030-2060​

Unfortunately, the next decade is not an aberration. The same OECD report projects Canada will also post the worst economic performance among advanced countries over 2030-2060, with real per capita GDP advancing by just 0.8 percent per annum (Figure 2a). In other words, Canada will be dead last not only for the next decade, but also for the three decades after that.
