UPS delivers 12,000 job cuts to white-collar management months after historic deal for unionized drivers—yet another sign the pendulum is swinging toward blue-collar workers

UPS driver here.

You could see the writing on the wall years ago. A vast majority of driver supervisors now have little to zero area knowledge (how the routes are looped, where to go for pickups ect) they do everything through the board. My old supervisor, 10 years ago, even said they were going to be the first cuts. "You see that board?" he said," It literally will do my job later on in your career. " That's going to be your supervisor." Oh man, how right he was. Too bad they blew over 10 billion on the stupid algorithm ORION. That money should have been spent on the fleet of trucks improving gas mileage or going electric. Nope. Get a shitty ass algorithm that decides to send you directly into school traffic right when it gets out, sends you across town on a whim, and tells you it's OK to do a 5 pm pickup at 10am lmao.
