This is happening everywhere because people are watching what they spend because of the high cost of everything going up
Only supervisors are being laid off. How do I know? I'm a proud trainer and supervisor of 3 years. I just got my letter today saying that I will be laid off at the end of next month. It hurts me because this job is what has allowed me as a single father to provide for my daughter. Now I'm being told that I'm going to be let go with one month of severance with a pat on the back and someone telling me, "good luck." Good luck does not put food on the table for my growing child.
Wherever the associate cuts are..the worker's go away,, the work doesn't. People left there should be wary of the good old,,,"one worker,, two jobs"...
Does this have anything to do with the recent raises!
looks like the future for ups is bleak they are not expecting to be a growing company for the foreseeable future thats what this tells me.
Are you dense?
No they're just trying to maximize profits and eventually automate everything.
The ceo is downsizing the company intentionally. The last motivational book she read was called "better not bigger". She turned ups into "bitter not better". Very toxic and greedy person. You have to work here to understand.
A.I will take over management and supervisor jobs
9.9 BILLION, WTF?
Miss me with that news! Like UPS does with my packages, after waiting at home for my undelivered packages or super late!
I live where you vacation lol 😅😅😅
It’s typical for all companies to have slow productivity the first few months of the year. UPS is a strong company that ain’t going anywhere. Their stock has been dropping and here I am waiting for the lowest point to get in. 💵🍻😁
Hope you are right. I left them in 06 after 33 years in Feeders. Love that company. You are wise to wait and watch. We caught a low once at $38. Most of mine was bought thru pay roll.🦇
I hope you are correct. I have had dividends coming back from 06. 🦇@@boblaser7385
Yes but we haven’t seen these numbers in layoffs. The volume is back to pre COVID numbers.
Hopefully UPS will apply it's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion standards aggressively throughout this layoff process.
They receive big increase salary
believe me,theres more layoffs comming
Yes management and supervisor jobs.
Nope part time union workers being cut everyday at local hub in Visalia ca.
yup union workers are being cut as well. lots
And I agree. A truck and trailer repair shop is being shut down. They had approximately 70 workers and another one in Pittsburgh is getting shut down, and they have over 200 employees.@@jd3l3on
2023 PROFITS?
It means don't let a union anywhere near your place of employment
Glad I did not listen to people with your views.🦇
Their laying off management jobs
Yea, stay poor, while stockholders get rid of your insurance, pensions, 401k matches, wages and reimbursements for doing the job, until they finally automate your job meanwhile, making shareholders rich off your work. That's a great strategy! And good luck starting a mom and pop business just to be crushed by these elitist corporations, all while having no job protection for when you get injured from negligence or safety violations and fired for it. No wonder this country has went belly up. The idiocy is astounding. 🤦♂️🤡
They are laying off management jobs because they mass hired them while the contract was being negotiated to keep down the work force and save them money by having them steal the work. It got my whole sort shut because the company does not care about our working rights. They did this to themselves
Dude you are clueless. 98% of hourly workers are in the union because of the hostile management culture there. Go work for them and you would join the union in 3 days.
No drivers or dock workers will not be laid off.
Teamsters will take care of you!! Hahahahaha
~ Being replaced by A.I & Botts. ...
They are moving workers that have been there 27 years or more to night shifts
UPS recently announced new discriminatiatory policies against the firearms industry and now they can't afford overpaid union employees? #GoWokeGoBroke
another uh oh
It could be a sign of the future of the economy. Media allways hypes things up when an election is near to the dem-o-rat advantage but you cannot hide facts. How are other shippers doing? How is freight moving? Then again this is the second time their CEO has answered questions with "we don't know?" I would not want to hear that from a CEO.🦇
Excellent. This is what they get for striking.
Shut up
thats right
Better pay and better benefits. What the workers deserve. This only occurred because the management was being greedy. Ironic how a work force can be "Heroes" during a major crisis, then be "getting what they deserve" as soon as the company is forced into doing the right thing. So much for "ask not what your country can do for you, but you can do for your country". People with this ungrateful mentality is exactly why this country is in the state it is in. All you care about is yourselves, getting your instant delivery. Ingrates at their best!😂
They're not firing drivers....They're firing managers globally.
@@moemoenyc Time for managers to unionize then. 😂
UPS needs more non-binary and non-gender workers, also more Demi male & Demi female workers. The problem is they only hire male and female workers.🌈
Bro shut up
Bidenomics continues
This is terrible🫢
Of course, the companies have to save a lot of money with the absurdly large union pay increase. Keep laying off particularly the high paid union workers.
The Professors is delusional just wait until drones start getting used.
The 12,000 employees are management not union employees.
Drones have been trying to take off for about 10 years now. It'll never take widespread adoption.
@@garcjr Very good point but layoffs of union workers will continue
@@jallen1227 Correct, they'll layoff union workers while quiet firing non-union workers.
Is this what. Bidens " good union jobs look like?
i hate to say this, but this is what they deserve. ups says they have not had a good couple of years, the employes dont care they want to strike and make 170 grand a year, this is insane. if ups is not doing great they really cant give out big pay raises, these people need to understand that. so now its going to be fewer people doing more work to make up the layoffs. you reap what you sew
Its hilarious to find people commenting on something they obviously know absolutely nothing about. UPS has had record breaking profits as a company year over year for over 15 years. They made enough profit during the pandemic alone to cover the cost of this agreement and increased their shipping cost 11% before the contract negotiations. The majority of UPS labor force is part time. You'd have to be the most naive person on the planet to believe that someone working part time makes $170k a year. 😂
Hater!!!!
Dude we don’t make 170k, I wish we did 😂 ups literally made millions in profit since the start of the pandemic. They easily couldve payed us out the wages we asked for and still have millions left
Investors want there money so there laying off management
@boblaser7385 Thank you. Finally, someone with a brain on this post.
all these laid off workers can thank themselves and there union
