I heard they're using "Roadie" for deliveries now. They're not going to give any of the work from the businesses their buying to UPSers if they can help it.

I would imagine this is from the over hiring during Covid and consolidating buildings an automation. This will be through mostly attrition of retirements not being replaced and layoffs of very low seniority people.

Pensions will be cut accordingly.

I’m a nothing burger. Ran across this. “There’s a strong possibility AI takes more American jobs in the next 5 years than China has in the last 30 years”. I believe this announcement is big signal for domino ripples.

They’ve been saying that for almost a decade, and I believe they will still push for that, and I believe they will eventually fail.

No doubt there will be management cuts but over the past 3-4 years, they've already cut a lot of management so there's a finite number that can be cut.

"Along with the job cuts, the company announced it will also close 73 of its buildings by the end of June 2025 and said that it may target additional buildings for closure."

Closing buildings means hourly as well as operations cuts

I don’t believe this is a new number. I believe this is a number that has already been understood in regards to not replacing people who leave and some of the building closures with people not following their work..

Will there be a production push on high seniority to encourage pension paperwork?

Will there be a production push on high seniority to encourage pension paperwork?

There already is.

We have 3 Circle of Honor drivers who are probably 11 hours a day on average.
9.5s are just being paid out.

Pretty sure the company feels like they can outlast them.

That’s nothing new either.
