None of the gossip I’m hearing makes much sense. Some people say no more than 1,000 drivers nationwide took the offer. Where I am, they’re actually looking to hire more. In other places, people are apparently complaining about too much OT because they’re understaffed. And yet, everyone keeps talking about more layoffs coming. I’m honestly confused, and scared for my job, no matter how much I don’t like it.

Class 1 scab #1 out fit.

Terrible shortline company

XOM and Imperial Oil decide to divest Calgary-based non-core assets and restructure to stay competitive in a shifting regional and global energy market:

1- Calgary Quarry Park HQ: Sold to Brookfield, monetizing underutilized space. This mirrors Imperial’s real move to donate its former research centre and labs to SAIT, reinforcing a Calgary real estate pullback.

2- Corporate functions: Relocated to Edmonton, aligning headquarters with upstream operations.

3- Employee impact: Calgary staff offered relocation to operational or refinery sites, redeployment packages, or voluntary exits.

4- Cold Lake & Kearl: Continue to run as profitable oil sands assets, with upgrader units ensuring bitumen flows meet refinery specs. Over time, Imperial phases in project-level JVs with partners like Suncor and Cenovus on select expansions — sharing cost, technology, and risk without ceding full control.

5- Logistics & infrastructure (Midstream segment): Throughput and tariff agreements renegotiated with Enbridge and TC Energy, leveraging planned Mainline expansions and ~$2.5B Enbridge system upgrades. Rail partnerships with CN and CPKC improve flexibility to U.S. Gulf and Midwest markets.

6- Downstream operations:
Strathcona refinery (Edmonton) remains a central hub, now with renewable diesel capacity.
Sarnia refinery & chemical complex anchors the eastern market.
Nanticoke refinery complements Sarnia, strengthening Imperial’s Ontario downstream footprint.

Staff relocations tied into these downstream assets keep talent aligned with refining/chemical demand centers.

Another slew of mass layoffs is set to hit a logistics services company, as Texas continues to brace for job losses amid a weakening economy.

Accelore Group, LLC announced plans to eliminate 107 positions in Tarrant County and 107 positions in Dallas County, according to new reports filed under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

The layoffs will take place at the company's Amazon Logistics locations in Fort Worth and Balch Springs.

How many people does it take to prop up the sth dept to the detriment of everything else? Newsflash. If truck doesn't get unloaded and merchandise sits on the dock because all are propping up the lazy sth dept who walk around waving rfid all day how does that deliver good results?

UPS is continuing a nationwide downsizing effort by consolidating parcel distribution facilities, eliminating shifts, and closing underutilized sites to cut excess capacity and improve productivity. The latest actions include laying off 62 workers in Dallas, Texas, where a day shift is being eliminated, and shutting a facility in Wilmington, North Carolina, on September 23, with most employees expected to transfer to another location. Additionally, UPS closed a parcel center in Pocahontas, Arkansas, on August 8, though job impacts there were not disclosed.

These changes are part of a broader network reconfiguration aimed at eliminating 200 sortation centers over five years and increasing automation.

The restructuring follows other recent closures and layoffs, including 99 job cuts in Charlotte, North Carolina, in May and a temporary shutdown of a New Orleans facility in July that affected 177 workers. UPS leadership has acknowledged stagnant package volumes for nearly two years and is intentionally reducing low-margin business, including phasing out half of its work with Amazon. Overall, the company expects to operate with 20,000 fewer workers and is also offering voluntary separation packages to drivers, though uptake has been slow.
