Anton Jenkins, HJ's sales and marketing director, said: "I don't think it's right that men who are out there defending the country in all weathers should be wearing the cheapest socks the MoD can get. With the greatest respect to the other company, we have been making socks for 120 years and have people who have been here for 40 years. That is what you are paying for."
但HJ Hall公司市場營銷負責人安頓-耶金斯稱:“辛苦保衛(wèi)國家的軍人穿那些買來的最廉價襪子,我覺得這有點不應該。沒有貶低其他公司的意思,但是我們公司已經做了120年的襪子,有的員工在這一呆就是40年。這是我們襪子的賣點所在。”
Warning of redundancies, Jenkins said: "Job losses are inevitable, whether it's voluntary or any other method, I don't know at this stage.
“失業(yè)是不可避免的,但我不知道會以怎樣的方式裁員,”耶金斯說道,道出了國防部這一決定對該公司造成的不可避免的裁員后果。
