Sandy Springs-based UPS is laying off more of its employees, after earlier this year announcing it was cutting 12,000 jobs in its management ranks.

UPS made $7 Billion dollars net profit last year. It was a decline from the 11.5 Billion net profit they made in 2022.

    I find it hard to criticize a company for culling middle management. Most of those jobs are useless at best and detrimental at worst.

      HA! The Marketing and Sales jobs will go untouched, there is no doubt. IT managers, get ready to sling some boxes. Customer Service? Dang I forgot you were still here, ha ha - gtfo.

        They closed all the customer counters. So if you want your shit and have to sign for it, you better be there or you are SOL.

      Peak Lemmy. These 20000 people will just self organize 🤣

      There is usually room for optimization but pretending like you didn’t need middle management is a big tell you’ve never actually done this, studied it, and are ignorant on the topic. But yeah I’m sure billionaires are paying these folks out of charity 🙄.
