UPS announced Tuesday that it will cut 12,000 jobs as part of a bid to save $1 billion costs. Managers and contractor positions will make up most of the layoffs.
The job cuts come as UPS issued a disappointing sales outlook for this year, saying it expects global revenue of between $92 billion to $94.5 billion. That would be up from the $91 billion in revenue it reported for 2023, but analysts surveyed by Refinitiv had been expecting revenue of at least $95.6 billion.

I suspect this is partially due to all those Amazon delivery trucks you see running around these days.
I'm right, aren't I?
Your words speak for themselves, bimbo.
Go back to your psychotic Nazi dehumanization propaganda.

Right.
The surging, soaring Bidenomics Economy will require a lot of deliveries now that thousands of retail stores and malls have closed for years now.
Unless there isn’t really a surging economy.
The Amazon delivery people are the best of all, in my area. They follow instructions and I’ve had maybe two out of hundreds of deliveries go in any way wrong.
(I wish Grubhub, Doordash, etc., could consistently do as well.)
Didn’t UPS go union not that long ago.
The Amazon driver in my neighborhood keeps delivering my neighbor’s packages to us.
I haven’t had that happen.
UPS actually used to be the best around here; but it’s not anymore. I don’t know why.
You can bet it will be “rural” routes cut. Won’t be long and Amazon will be doing the same.
They are building in Michigan.
Best economy ever, they said…
I have my packages delivered to a UPS Store box.
I routinely get notifications that an Amazon driver attempted to deliver while they were closed, when I have the store hours listed in the delivery instructions.
And more than once I’ve been told they didn’t deliver because they were closed, when I know for a fact that they weren’t.
Of course, it couldn’t be that the holidays are over.
thats part of it.
but not all of it.
been union as long as I can remember however the union did just threaten a strike for more money. (and got it)
When they go in the business
free stuff.. I wouldn’t complain ;)
I’m sorry. Things like that have happened to us more often with FedEx, than UPS; and never (so far) with Amazon.
But I live in an apartment building, and I’m almost always here. When I haven’t been, they’ve just left it at the door, per instructions.
