I won't shed a single tear when UPS closes it's doors for good. Hope it happens real soon. UPS deserves to go bankrupt. Goodbye brown turn army
• UPS is closing its Stockton hub on 5/29, cause nothing boosts morale like vanishing facilities right before summer comes
• Exec peeps calls it “strategic restructuring,” which is the business version of ghosting an entire zip code
• This is part of a MUCH larger effort to close 73 facilities and trim 20,000 jobs, all while blaming tariffs and “economic conditions”
• The Stockton closure follows a drop in revenue of 200M, which apparently triggered full-scale panic
• UPS swears it’s treating employees fairly while showing them the exit, so it’s fine, really
• The company made over 21 billion in revenue last quarter, but still felt the urge to downsize like a tech startup with no funding
• The remaining employees in Stockton can look forward to commuting to Lathrop, assuming there’s room for them
• UPS says its top priority is efficiency and “customer-first” service, just not for the customers who relied on Stockton
• No headcount was confirmed for the layoffs in Stockton, which is corporate for “it’s going to be bad”
• Final word here: workforce is too big to slash
