#warehousing

I’m hearing that across the US. Many midsized customers will go warehouse in October. What’s the word out there?

Likely rural centers as the goal seems to be picking up B2C packages near big city warehouses and not spread out residential deliveries. However every other package delivery company is after this same easy money. Least work gets more dollars.

I heard from my project manager that rebadging is happening in the data analytics tower where all our BIAR/DSS folks are. I'm not in DSS, so I'm safe from this rebadging. Does anyone have any specifics?

I wonder how long until they WFR me.

Warehouse workers for Southern Glazer in Las Vegas were recently laid off. They claim artificial intelligence robots are replacing their positions. Around 50 of more than 100 warehouse staff were reportedly let go on March 8. The affected workers performed tasks like picking products and building pallets. Southern Glazer has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Legacy Supply Chain Services, Inc. is laying off 117 employees across multiple California locations due to weakened freight demand, with cuts finalized by early April 2026. Affected positions include warehouse workers, drivers, and supervisors, with the largest impact in Brea, San Diego, and Fontana.

Macy's Leads Thousands of Supply Chain Job Cuts
The freight market continues to struggle in early 2026. Over 3,100 job cuts have been announced since mid-January across various sectors. Macy's is closing its Owasso, Oklahoma, fulfillment center, affecting 993 employees. Alton Steel and Continental Tire also announced significant layoffs. Weak consumer demand and excess capacity contribute to these widespread reductions.

Nearly 500 workers across Illinois face upcoming layoffs. These job cuts were revealed by the Illinois WARN Act spreadsheet. APL Logistics accounts for the largest number, with 230 employees affected. These layoffs stem from warehouse closures in Minooka. Other companies like S&S Activewear and Microplastics Inc. also announced significant job reductions.

Amazon plans to fully "Amazonify" Whole Foods by flooding shelves with cheap, mass-produced junk food like Doritos, Pepsi, and Kraft singles to chase Walmart shoppers and low income customers, while quietly phasing out premium organic lines to cut costs and line their pockets. thousands of long-time store managers and grocery/front end staff will face massive layoffs as robots take over stocking (the same robots they have in warehouses right now) and checkout duties, because this year Amazon is plotting to rebrand select locations as hybrid Amazon Fresh warehouses stocked mostly with private-label basics and call it "Fresh by Whole Foods Market"

Who was laid off today? Which teams? Sales, warehouse closures, or corporate teams? I heard S&T is still afloat.

A major restructure just announced with layoffs attached. Positions cut in warehouse, distribution, and account executives.

Warehouse operations are to be handled by the third party company starting Dec. 7th. Was told that things will continue as usual until Dec. 7th when we are no longer employed by Pepsi. 2 weeks before Christmas. We are being offered/given a severance package. We've been encouraged to apply at the third party company and have been told we'd be given "priority" in the hiring process and wouldn't have to do an interview. We have some guys who have been with Pepsi for 40 years and are being laid off. Location is Everett, WA. The new company will be running things at the new Marysville location starting Dec. 7th.

Lineage, a temperature controlled warehouse REIT listed as LINE, has begun job cuts as demand for cold storage slows. The move follows a comprehensive operations review, with the company saying reductions are needed to protect long term success and adaptability. Specific numbers and roles were not disclosed. Shares fell to about 53.72 dollars, down roughly 3 percent, and well below the 78 dollar IPO price from six months earlier. Softer consumer demand and excess inventories among food makers and retailers are contributing to reduced need for cold storage, which is pressuring the business.

Unsure of the validity of the information. A worker of 7 years reached out to notify today was their last day and they would be turning in company equipment. Noted that the L2s in transportation management warehousing is affected. Intent to hire external L1s for less pay, same job.

As I was about to post, a second reached out stating the same.
