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.
What is your expectation of how much staff should be kept on when not needed?
Who said they are not needed?
UPS has. They believe they can run the business more efficiently without them. So what’s the percentage of people they should be keep on after this decision that they are being inefficient?
They believe they can make fewer people do more work. This has nothing to do with efficiency.
UPS has one of the largest unions on the planet, you don’t think this was discussed and agreed on?
All I heard was an existing or future MBA talking from those comments. MBAs exist to defend the choices of CEOs.
Blah blah blah blah blah I can’t address the simple questions.
You clearly cannot read.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Still can’t address.
They made 7 billion in profit last year. These layoffs are not because they evaluated these layoffs from any other perspective other than how much can we get away with to make more than 7 billion?*
If they can keep up the same level of service with less people I fail to see the problem. Do you expect business to intentionally operate inefficiently just to keep people employed?
Your definition of efficiency is not compatible with mine. Layoffs here are entirely based on profit increase, not efficiency.
If you want to invent stuff then sure, I guess we can’t come to terms.

This MFer. Take CVS for example, they’ve reduced staff at each pharmacy for efficiency. It used to be you would get a prescription at your pharmacy of choice within an hour of going to the doctor. Now it takes days because of “efficiency”. I swear capitalism is a religion to many.
