Massive Layoffs in Red States

[candycorn]

Layoffs are piling up, heightening worker anxiety. Here are some of the biggest recent job cuts

As layoffs pile up, workers are feeling increasingly anxious about the job market. Economists have said businesses are in a "no-hire, no-fire" standstill as hiring stalls overall.

apnews.com

From the piece:

30,000 From Amazon distribution
30,000 From UPS Operations (along with another 12,000 they won't replace)
6,000 From Hewlett Packard
13,000 From Verizon

The "good" news is that as these companies shed salaries and wages, the stock market is doing marginally better (if you can afford to buy some shares)

Who/What's to blame?

Trump's Tariffs of course. Again from the piece...

"Employers have initiated layoffs across sectors — with many pointing to rising operational costs that span from President Donald Trump’s barrage of new tariffs, stubborn inflation and shifts in spending from consumers, whose outlook on the U.S. economy recently plummeted to its lowest level since 2014.

AI delivers packages as in the case of UPS? Nope.

Actually, UPS has a lost a significant number of deliveries associated with Amazon, and primarily due to the fact Amazon is renting vans and delivering a lot of stuff themselves as they open new distribution facilities nationwide.

I know that it is a fact because I live within 50 miles of a new Amazon distribution facility, and we hardly ever see UPS anymore, while Amazon deliveries come by whatever they can find with four wheels and a driver. Vans, cars and any time of the day or night. Not only that, but you can track the delivery on your phone and watch it heading to your house once it gets within a certain distance.

True. But you'd figure with all the cuts to the USPS (10,000 JOBS), UPS would be on the upswing.

US Postal Workers Are Fighting Massive Service Cuts

Thousands of US Postal Service jobs are at stake under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s modernization plan, which would close 200 mail processing plants and funnel all mail to 60 mega-plants. Postal workers are organizing to stop the plan.

The all mighty stock price is the only thing driving these cuts.

Is this dumb ***** trying to blame "red states" for companies down sizing, or is her OP just bait? I didnt bother to read it. I never read this moonbats OPs.

Yeah, whatever, nitwit
They don't make a ton of money carrying stuff 50 miles, and Amazon does not have to pay UPS for the cost of a 20 year employee.

UPS has been laying people off since Amazon got big into house delivery. Amazon was a huge part of their base because Amazon shut down so many smaller businesses. But she is too stupid to understand that.

Yeah, like paying someone with a driver's license and a car isn't going to be cheaper than paying a company that is floating a lot more costs in equipment, logistics, benefits and seniority.

Shit, I think there is a new company that is going to sales nationwide buying cargo vans and renting them to Amazon in our area.

I think you're right about that...a distribution center near my house growing up has almost no AMAZON vehicles...it's all personal vehicles.

What I was saying before you laughably tried to insult me was that since USPS is laying off people, you'd think UPS would have a bigger piece of the pie.

It's really pretty simple no matter how it works out for the employee.

When Amazon Prime and short-term deliveries, don't have to get on a plane, then leave Atlanta (or wherever) before being handed off three times between facilities and trucks before making it to Bumfuck Egypt, that cash cow gravy train just dries up and dies for UPS.

I did call you a nitwit, because that is kind of obvious when you think about it for a second, and has nothing to do with how anyone feels about it.

Nearly all signs point to Trump's tariffs. Fewer packages are coming in so there is less to process and less to deliver....

Those massive distrubution centers for Amazon in the red states where they pay scab wages are emptying.

LOL, few packages from other parts of the world, that is funny
we have enough domestic deliveries daily to keep them busy

In fact DHL is who handles many overseas packages
