SEIU_ORG @seiu.org · 29/10/2025UPS just said it cut 48,000 jobs this year. Here’s why that matters: 💰 The company is making record profits; 📈 Its stock rose after the layoffs. When a company calls that “savings,” it’s not efficiency — it’s putting profits way over people. 1001692705

jpp394.bsky.social @jpp394.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Wallstreet sees it as a cut in opex and thats all its concerned with. whenever a stock is flat, reducing opex will give it a boost...unfortunately the easiest way to do so is, well....layoffs 011

Angie @craftyang.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Welcome to a glimpse of a privatized postal service - one of the few programs actually guaranteed in the Constitution. Companies have a single goal, to make money. They are not people, and expecting entities to act with morals is insane. But America has lost its mind, so I guess on brand. 010

SL Holling @poetdevotee.bsky.social · 29/10/2025We can't cut so many jobs without assaulting our shaky economy. We lost half a million jobs in the DMV. We're the canary in the coal mine here.

Some Dude @justsomedood.bsky.social · 29/10/2025This is part of the transfer of wealth folks don't talk about. The people at UPS making 7+ figures a year decide to fire the hard working folks that got them where they are, so that they can make more $$$. Now 48k people aren't working while the top 1% at UPS gets an extra beefy end of year bonus. 092
