Massive Layoffs in Red States

But you felt the need to post on the thread.

What an impressive attempt to address the topic with your debut in the thread, you pathetic asshat.

Don't be surprised if TESLA is right behind the other agencies laying off thousands:

TESLA sales are in the shitter.

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.

And many of those layoffs have probably been replaced by subcontractors or independent contractors.

At least when it comes to delivery jobs.

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.

the postal service has never laid off any career employees....that number you said are voluntary retirements, Layoff notices were issued in 2023, primarily targeting non-union management....they do this every 10 years or so...but they have never laid off any career employee as far as i know...

That's a little harsh.

Oh well, it might kill the common man, but you'll probably live through it.
Care to discuss the topic or is it already dead in the water?

Absolutely, they are using rentals from subcontractors.

I just looked one up because some of the vans they use here don't have the Amazon logo, but they do have King Bee logos.
King Bee is an outfit based in Utah, and I don't live anywhere near Utah.

The folks driving them and making the deliveries are wearing Amazon vests and identification badges on a lanyard.

More AI I suppose?
