I don’t see anywhere in article about laying drivers off unless I missed it.

“The company already had announced plans to freeze hiring for corporate roles in its retail division”

UPS should follow their lead.

They already have

The going corporate trend now a days... reducing management in order to look good on Wall Street.

With the UPS Contract looming corporate wouldn’t have a leg to stand on if they ask for more Union Concessions if they continue to award and maintain their non essential management positions.

It is now a matter of forcing or buying out their long term management people...those employees know it is coming...many will leave at the end of the year once the Company eliminates their Retirement vesting.

Big tech companies are purging their workforce across the board. Getting rid of all the IT bean counters they had to hire during covid because of all the e commerce and traffic. On top of getting rid of all the useless HR woke reps that tweet videos of them working for about 18 minutes and drinking coffee and decompressing in their safe spaces for the rest of their 8 hour shift. Hope you guys aren’t invested. The hiring boost was artificially inflating their worth. It all had to come down eventually.

Amazon has lost according to SEC filings about $132B this year due to fuel prices and now has $37B on its balance sheet. That's not good, it used to cost them $3.70 to deliver a box and now that's up to $6.71. Supposedly they are investing in another electric vehicle company besides Rivian, this is an investment article about a more basic truck.

They are saving maybe %20 in the short term and probably none or less in the long term as chronic shortages of lithium will make gasoline prices look like a discount.

IMO the best system a futurist could think of would probably be a two-vehicle system. One to drop loads the other to make local deliveries. Like a local, small scale version of what the hubs already basically do which is to take in feeder loads and distribute them to package cars.
