Seems like I should start looking for another job

[Thebrownblob]

I spent my career in a large hub with 4 or more centers. Let me ask this question.
Approx. what would you say is the average number of employees in those buildings.

Most hubs with three or four centers are probably safe. Small centers in extended areas an hour to an hour and a half away from those bigger buildings are on borrowed time.

about 90 on the chopping block

Are they already posted somewhere?

Seams like the buzz from last year mentioned 400 buildings during the earnings call. Hope it works out for everyone on this thread

In my New England state, we're small enough that they'll have to build a new building if they wanna close any. They have, however readjusted a few towns and shuffled those to other centers. Following your work is either 30minutes one way or the opposite, and no one is really inconvenienced, as you could blow yourself out of my state with a good force of post lunch wind.

I think the majority of jobs cut will be management. They can shuffle the drivers over to different buildings but the same areas will still need to be delivered. Some of the supervisors in the condensed centers would be excess and redundant.

30 minutes, lucky you. I’m in a small driver only center. Nearest hub is 85 miles, 2nd nearest is 110 miles. I’m dreading the hammer on our building, hopefully in the end it’ll workout for the best. 20 years between FedEx express and ups, I’ve learned the only thing that’s certain is change and to not let what hasn’t happened control your day to day life.

They think they will save money and they wont

R building is starting preload at like 5 am, and we end up being there until 9.30 and the drivers get to sit there for 30 minutes on the clock watching us load

I see lots of center manager being unemployed

I wonder if they'd build a larger new center in the middle of 5 or 6 rural centers?
There is a town about 30 minutes away & right in the middle of all these centers. They are all heavy rural with maybe 20-40 routes in each center. Probably would end up with alot of satellites.

I think they will move away from the smaller full centers and have more satellites for the work too far from the remaining centers.

I don't know about that.
They're moving some routes to our building, and I don't know how we are going to service them.

I don't know about that.
They're moving some rocks to our building, and I don't know how we are going to service them.

Rocks?

 

[UnionStrong]

Rocks?

That’s what he does all day, moves rocks.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Routes

Yes

It feels like it.

90 total for the US. Ok that's quite a bit.

176 miles to the hub from our center. I just don't see how they could run routes from that building to cover our area.

I wouldn’t imagine it’d be every rural center. Amazon will try to keep most of that unprofitable volume at ups.

i would guess 15-20, maybe less

by plan this is correct, but i think the hourly attrition will be far higher than they anticipate
