Sandy Springs-based UPS announced Tuesday that it had laid off 14,000 more staff than it had initially announced earlier in 2025.
A UPS spokesman provided the update on staffing reductions that had been in discussion as part of their corporate reorganization strategy.
Speaking to Channel 2 Action News Tuesday morning, the spokesman clarified that the total of 48,000 positions in the reduction of force had already occurred.
In the quarterly earnings release that contained the layoff notice to the public, UPS said they were grateful for their staff for their dedication to the company.
“I want to extend my gratitude to all UPSers for their dedication and steadfast commitment to serving our customers,” CEO Carol Tomé said in a statement. “We are executing the most significant strategic shift in our company’s history, and the changes we are implementing are designed to deliver long-term value for all stakeholders. With the holiday shipping season nearly upon us, we are positioned to run the most efficient peak in our history while providing industry-leading service to our customers for the eighth consecutive year.”
