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.
Coincidentally, my UPS packages have all been delayed over the last two weeks. One was supposedly delayed from CA to OR because of “weather” which is odd as it has been sun and mostly mild temps over the last week. Another had it’s tracking showing “we don’t have the package yet” right up until the morning that it was delivered.
Not to defend UPS too much but enormous wildfires probably go in as “weather”.
California.
Oregon.
Yeah, we don’t have a “catastrophic wildfire” as a delay tag yet.
Key word is yet.
